The Nichols Art Glass gallery opened its doors on July 15, 2007. Andy and Miranda worked diligently for nine months to create a space that would compliment their style and their 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. Occasional guest artists, as well as private parties, may be hosted at the gallery. Pre-arranged group field trips are encouraged!
