Coastal Arts Center of Orange Beach

This place is located in a beautiful area and has the most amazing art contained inside! The building itself is a work of art! They also offer classes in pottery making and glass blowing. Awesome place to visit! We went on a rainy day which worked out perfectly since we couldn’t enjoy Gods artwork on the beach that day.

This Center is amazing! Such a highlight of my trip this past week! The people are amazing and the talent is exceptional! The art exhibit was second to none! I can’t wait to return.

Lots of beach themed items. Beautiful location on the intracoastal waterway. Watch the glass blowers at work.

Just beautiful! All open view from the glass windows piercing out on the water. Beautiful staircase. Staff keeps all things tidy. Thankful for the elevator for the ♿. Good handicap parking. Roomy and elegant. Some of the most unique art work. Enjoyed our visit very much, under the special circumstances.

People are wonderful here. My daughter took a glass blowing class and the gentleman that ran it were patent with her. Also would recommend going and seeing all the glass work and art work they have to offer!!!! AMAZING!

This was a beautiful place, with many artists/ businesses showcased on the property. I loved the chandelier, everything around the grounds. Watched glass blowing when I visited. Staff very friendly, super nice gallery.

Had a great time here. Watched guys blow glass. No one was working in claynstudio. And the artist displays were impressive. Even watched dolphins off the dock around back! Plus beautiful trees...

We had a great time learning about making glass art here in the Hot Shop. They gave a very informative presentation, showing how to make 3 different pieces (a paperweight, an ornament and a flower) and then one at a time, you can choose which you would like to make. The artists are very patient and give each person a very personal experience and they do not rush you at all. There are many colors to choose from when making your piece and there are lot of examples for inspiration.

When you are all finished, your pieces need to be placed in a kiln for a while, so you can't take your art home the same day, you will have to plan to come back to pick it up. I am not sure if they ship, but I am sure they would be more than happy to let you know if you give them a quick phone call.

I would definitely suggest trying this place out if you have some time and you are interested in the art of glass blowing. The group classes are currently Monday - Friday at 9am. Space is limited. They like to keep the classes small so everyone gets plenty of time and a bit of one on one.

I am definitely going to come back here and do the glass blowing again.
