A visit to the Glass Ranch in Escondido is MY idea of Black Friday.

And you still have time to enjoy it, too. 

Glass creation at the Glass Ranch in Escondido CATheir semi-annual open house with glass blowing demonstrations (VIDEO LINK to my vid on YouTube), beautiful glass creations (glasses, jewelry, bowls, vases, decorative items), and strolling through their magnificent gardens is a wonderful way to shop in a venue I suspect few have experienced. 

Talented glass blowers Garry Cohen and Cherrie LaPorte are a delight and you will enjoy chatting with them about their love of glass blowing. 

The open house continues for 2 more days

  • TODAY, Saturday November 27th, from 11 until 4
  • and then again on Sunday from 11 until 4. Don't miss this opportunity to experience an artistic venue that will enthrall you. 

The Glass Ranch is located at 20307 Beech Lane just off Del Dios Highway in Escondido, a stone's throw from Lake Hodges.

The Glass Ranch owners' contemporary home and gardens on the hill surrounded by mountains in view of Lake Hodges makes the visit even more special.

Enjoy the photos AND a virtual walk through their gardens below.

The Glass Ranch in Escondido, CA - A Garden of Delights

The Glass Ranch in Escondido, California - Jeff DowlerThe Glass Ranch in the Del Dios area of Escondido, just up the hill from Lake Hodges, is a garden of delights. No, this is not a take-off on that famous painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymous Bosch. 

But the Glass Ranch. with stunning gardens and glass works of art at every turn, is, in the same way, provocative, thoughtful, and filled with surprises, the handiwork of two talented, creative artists in a setting that is visually enticing and unique.

Garry Cohen and Cherrie La Porte Cohen are visionary creators of amazing glass works - fused glass sculpture, jewelry, blown glass, glasses, bronze sculpture and garden art and so much more. Their creativity is seen throughout the gallery, and the grounds surrounding their home and glass blowing shop, with glass art at every turn, in surprising places. One cannot separate the art from the garden, for the garden is a work of art itself. 

The Glass Ranch in Escondido, California - Jeff Dowler

The Cohens' work is stunning in color, shape and texture, and meant to be enjoyed in many ways, indoors and out, and the Glass Ranch itself will inspire viewers to consider ways to enhance their own personal, garden or business environments. They have an open house and sale twice per year (taking place yesterday and today, then later this year), but are open for tours and glass blowing demonstrations by appointment.  

The Glass Ranch has been recognized by the area's press, including Better Homes and Gardens, the San Diego Union Tribune, the North County Times, the Carol Duvall Show, and Home and Garden TV Offbeat America, among many others.
