WATCH ARTISTS AT WORK Few art forms are as captivating to watch as glassblowing — and in Lincoln City, you can see the creative process up close. Visit the Lincoln City Glass Center in the Taft District to watch artists shape molten glass into floats, bowls and abstract creations just feet away. Become the artist yourself by booking an appointment to work with a glassblower to create a glass art piece of your own. Many studios, including Alder House Glass and ThornMeadow Glassworks also double as galleries, giving you a chance to browse finished treasures and chat with the artists. It’s a fascinating window into a centuries-old craft with a distinctly coastal twist. Lincoln City Glass Center
