Glass & Wood

vases, dishes, jewelry, pens, baskets, boxes

Art glass can be created in a multitude of shapes, incorporating color through a wide range of techniques. These handmade items can be cast with the use of molds for shaping and ribbing, and the artist can use a Batik technique to produce decorative bubbles.

Wooden boxes are constructed from recycled or up-cycled materials. Each box is one of a kind, purposed for holding keepsakes, jewelry, recipes, tea, or rings.

We also carry baskets woven from local kelp and hand-turned wooden pens.

Ceramics

Unique Firing Techniques. Custom Glazes

Each of our ceramic artists uses different clay bodies, glaze applications, and firing techniques. Some pieces are hand built, stamped, and molded to create items like dishes, wall hangings, and sculpture. Other artists work at the potter’s wheel to create bowls, vases, plates, mugs, and dishes. Much of the work is high fired in a electric kiln, leaving a food-safe finish, safe for oven, dishwasher, and microwave. One of our artists specializes in Raku firing, a Japanese technique that produces a unique, unpredictable blackened, metallic, or crackled finish.

Art, Food, History, and "The Birds"
Visit Our Beautiful Village

We are located in the beautiful village of Bodega, where most of buildings date from the 19th century. Stop by on your way to the coast or make the town your destination. It’s well worth a stop. Known historically as Bodega Corners or Bodega Roads, the town is steeped in history and film lore. After filming “Shadow of A Doubt” in Santa Rosa in 1948, Alfred Hitchcock returned to Sonoma County in 1961 to scout a remote coastal location for his next project “The Birds.” Famous scenes from The Birds were filmed across the street from the gallery.

Behind the St. Theresa’s Church, you’ll find the schoolhouse of Annie Hayworth (Suzanne Pleshette), at 17110 Bodega Lane, which, in the film, appears to be just up the hill from the bay. The 150-year-old building was originally a schoolhouse, then a local community centre, and for a while, a guest house. Now a private residence, the building was vacant at the time of the filming. After Alfred Hitchcock’s crew repaired the exterior, it was used for several scenes.

The Casino restaurant, along the main street, is a great local bar to hang out and have a brew. Several talented local chefs offer rotating menus featuring excellent local ingredients: Hog Island oysters, Dungeness crab, Akaushi beef, salmon, wild bay shrimp, scallops, and more. Soak in the down-home atmosphere, and ask the bartender who is today’s chef du jour.

There’s also a casual coffee shop next door to the gallery, serving fresh coffee drinks and locally made pastries until 1:00 pm, and a fully stocked grocery store with a fine collection of cheese and wine, a surf shop, gem shop, and more.
