Local Looks for Halloween

Glass Pumpkins by Douglass C. Brown

Looking for a unique Halloween decoration made by a local artist? Glass artist Douglass C. Brown of Half Moon Bay Art Glass/Colquhoun Glass Works has created dozens of gorgeous glass pumpkins, ranging from $18 to $800 for a real showstopper. Stop by his studio in Half Moon Bay, adjacent to La Nebbia Winery, to view (and buy) his glass gourds.

Douglass also offers in-studio art glass classes for beginners looking to dabble in the art, and for more serious students looking for an intensive experience. Sculpt a glass paperweight, glass heart or glass pumpkin with a little help from a pro. Intro classes run about 20 minutes and your project is available the next day to pick up in person, or you can opt to have it shipped to you. After class, head next door to La Nebbia Winery’s tasting room and try a flight of wines. The souvenir wine glass is yours to keep. For a more intensive art glass experience, take The Glass Survey Class, where you’ll make 4-5 finished projects in 2-hours.
