The 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 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.

Hi Jeff...We have a piece of stained glass that is hanging inside our home in front of a window. After looking (and reading) your post, I may see how I can hang it up outside in our yard.
Kate
Hi Jeff These are some great pieces and what a wonderful place. Thanks for the tour and for starting my week out with some pretty things.
Sally - I think we were there for almost an hour. It was a wonderful place to spend some time.
Tom - indeed it was.
Kate - the light from the glass pieces hanging outside in the breeze was wonderful. And just seeing them in a different type of setting was a visual surpise.
Paddy - glad you enjoyed it. Working on getting the slide show to load in the post so folks can enjoy all the photos.
