Artists Johnny & Darlene Camp.have a combined 18 years of experience as hands-on artists, designers and fabricators. They have a whismical side, displayed in the small garden outside their shop, as well as in the window displays. The artists create both traditional and contemporary blown glass, using hand-tooled techniques. Thier work can be seen around the country in galleries, museums and at craft shows. I love their sea-inspired creations, especially their glass jellyfish! Check out the photogallery of their work: (visit link)

As you drive through Cosmopolis, watch for samples of their blown glass on display outside of many shops.
