What to Know about Oregon Coast Glassworks
For anyone looking to learn how to create works of glass art, there’s no better option than Oregon Coast Glassworks (OCG). The Newport business is less than a mile from our resort, which makes visiting this spot an easy addition to any itinerary.
Owned and operated by a husband and wife team, OCG is the first Native-American-owned and operated glassblowing business in the state. Their Newport facilities utilize the latest Italian glassblowing techniques and technology.
To help others discover this incredible art form, OCG offers personalized lessons. While there is a limited number of walk-in sessions available, advance reservations are highly recommended. The online system allows you to make your reservation 60 days beforehand.
During your one-on-one lesson, you will have the chance to create a unique item. There’s a wide range of items you can choose from, including a heart, paperweight, tidepool bowl, float, and wavy bowl. Sessions generally take 30 minutes per piece, and your work is available for pickup the following day.
