Portland Area Open Studios Tour Sept. 19-20

Plan your September: The annual PNW Glass Guild’s Open Studios Tour invites the public into working glass studios across the Portland area, offering a rare opportunity to experience the full range of glass making—from fused glass and stained glass to kiln-formed work, torchwork, and experimental techniques. Visitors gain a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, seeing how raw materials are transformed into luminous, one-of-a-kind works of art. The map, artist info and other details for planning your visit will be on the event listing by September.

For participating artists, the Open Studios Tour provides a meaningful platform to share both finished work and process. It is an opportunity to connect directly with collectors, educate the public about glass techniques, and offer insight into the time, skill, and intention behind each piece. Studios become spaces for conversation, discovery, and appreciation of light, color, and form in glass. Whether your work is sculptural, functional, or wall-based, the tour highlights the unique ways glass interacts with light and space, creating an immersive experience for visitors and artists alike.

Suzanne Tyler and others opened their studios for the 2025 Open Studios
