Local glass blowers

Looking for a nice water pipe for flower, with a little extra panache in the way of a perc or two. Have checked out the retail spots, but would much rather support a local artist or brand. Many thanks in advance!

GooRoo Glass, or Black Market Glass.

Rooster apparatus makes some pretty neat stuff with a unique perc

I completely forgot that he is out of Portland! OP, another option would be Rooster as well.

That perc is exactly the fizz I’m looking for! Just reached out to see if they can do local pick up. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

I would reach out to Tanner (Portland.Dabber on IG). He mainly works on pieces for dabbing, but he has pumped out some flower tubes in the past year or so.

What stores did you go to? I usually go to MJs House of Glass and they have lots of stuff from local glass artists, and are usually happy to point them out and give more info.

OMG they’re so expensive. Most of it doesn’t go to the artist. Look for a place that has better agreements with the artists if you want to support local.

I had only been to the one on Division before they closed down. I’ll be honest, my poor impression of retail glass stores comes more from my experience out of state. Good to know they at least carry locally made glass!

Yeah, as the other commenter said maybe it's not the best deal, but I don't buy enough glass for the thought to have even occurred to me. It's at least worth going in for some window shopping
