CALIFORNIANA / THE GLASS GALLERY AT BIG SUR


Photography by PillartoPost.org / Phyllis Shess / Please credit
The “building” housing the Glass House Gallery in Big Sur, California is as much a work of art as the displayed collections of paintings, sculpture, jewelry, hand blown glass, stone, woodwork, ceramics, basketry, and photography.

The small gallery, located on a cliff next to the Sur House Restaurant (a part of Ventana, Alila Resort), has been fashioned out of a large cargo container.  It is run by hotel staff.  Not much in the way of architectural detail is offered by Ventana management.  Frankly, it’s a beautifully sited gift store supporting local artisans.

And, the view is indeed inspiring from the attached patio, which offers the Pacific Ocean and mountainside vistas that Big Sur is famous for.

LOCAL  NEWS. The storm damaged Pfeiffer Canyon bridge that closed off Big Sur (US Highway 1) in March 2017 from the rest of the world reopened in September 2017 thus allowing touristic free trade to once again flow along California’s iconic scenic highway.
