点评:After many years colabozrating with Bill I wanted to take the time to recommend this studio to anyone interested in the art of glassblowing. I find his multi displine approach to the craft refreshing and am always able to come away from our projects with a fresh prospective for the the direction I want to take my own work work in. I’ve found everyone at the studio to be a wealth of information with a knack for teaching at any skill level. If you or any one you know are interested in supporting civic minded and engaged local artists I don’t believe you could do it in a better way than signing up for a class or even just stopping by and showing interest and support for this shop and studio. In an era when people are pacified with mass produced home embellishments Bill and Robin offer not only art with soul,but additionally an experience that you’re able to cary with you for the rest of your life. You can also know that your hard earned dollars are going to support not only local artists performing their work at the highest level but additionally individuals that believe that supporting their local community as well as the greater native community matters. With all of the tourist driven bussiness’s that you might stop and check out while visiting the Oregon coast, please pause and appreciate all that nature has blessed this place with then do yourself a favor and visit the folks at Oregon Coast Glassworks and experience this ancient art with people who love what they do and want to share that love with you.

翻译:在与Bill合作多年后,我想花些时间向所有对吹制玻璃艺术感兴趣的人推荐这家工作室。我觉得他那种跨学科的创作方式令人耳目一新;每次合作结束后,我都能获得新的灵感,从而明确自己未来创作的方向。我发现工作室里的每一个人都是知识渊博的良师,无论对于何种技能水平的学习者,他们都能给予有效的指导。如果您或您认识的人有意支持那些富有社会责任感且积极参与社区事务的本土艺术家,我认为没有比报名参加他们的课程,或者仅仅是到店来表达兴趣与支持更好的方式了。在这个人们往往满足于使用批量生产的家居装饰品的时代,Bill和Robin不仅提供了充满灵魂的艺术作品,更带来一种能够伴随您一生的独特体验。您也可以放心,自己辛辛苦苦赚来的钱不仅会用来支持那些以最高水准进行表演的本地艺术家,还会帮助到那些坚信支持本地社区乃至整个原住民社区至关重要的人们。在您游览俄勒冈州海岸时,可能会光顾许多由旅游业带动而兴起的商家。请稍作停顿,好好欣赏大自然赋予这片土地的美好吧。然后,为自己做件好事:去拜访俄勒冈海岸玻璃工艺坊的人们,与那些热爱本职工作并渴望与你分享这份热爱的人一起体验这门古老的艺术吧。
