The Nichols Art Glass gallery opened its doors on July 15, 2007. Andy and fellow
glass artist Miranda Teel worked diligently for nine months to create a space that
would compliment the style and connectivity to the Pacific Northwest.
Large timber beams span the gallery, lending physical and aesthetic support.
Timbers also function as pedestals for visually pleasing glass displays.
Other interesting and unique displays have been created using an old wine
barrel, a dredge from the Mississippi River and found on a Wasco farm, and what
is thought to be an old boiler tank dragged by the artists from the mudflats of the
Chenowith River here in the Columbia River Gorge area.
An inviting focal point of the gallery, especially during the colder months, is the
large stone fireplace designed and built by the artists. The cozy warmth and
bright dancing flames are a delightful respite from a chilly winter day.
The gallery is open to the public Wed - Sun from 10am - 6pm (excluding major
holidays). With an open viewing area onlookers my come and experience the
creative process.
The gallery is available to host:
- Private parties
- Group fieldtrips
- One of a Kind Gift: Pre-Purchase a fish, pumpkin or cherries for your
friend or loved one, which includes a scheduled time for them to watch Andy
in his studio create the item and explain the process. The finish product will
be available the following day for pick up.
