Anyone from Redding, CA?

I might be going to Redding sometime in the near future. I'm a glassblower, and was thinking about hitting a few shops to sell stuff while I'm there. Can anyone recommend some shops in the area? Preferably ones that have more high end stuff, not mainly cheap stuff, imports, etc..

Thanks!
 
Not from or near Redding CA, but im sure google could find the info your looking for. Can you show us some pics of your work?
 
Yeah, I've found some addresses online, but I was hoping for recommendations of which ones were the best. Thanks for the response though.
I'll put up a couple of pics later.
 
Cool, thank you!
I was just going through yellow-pages like sites, looking through tobacco shop listings. I did find some, but maybe this one will give me more. Off to check it out....
 
Thanks for the tip, I'll check that place out.

Here are a few pics. I'm not the greatest glassblower around, but I have found that shops that sell nicer stuff are more receptive to my glass that the ones that mainly sell cheap spoons. The frog and dragon are sort of incognito pipes - the bowls are underneath.

wow that frog is wicked cool, i would deff buy something of yours , keep it up :weed::weed:
 
^^ Thanks. :)

I found 5 shops on one of those yellow pages sites. The headshops.net, unfortunately just had 1 (darkside, I think, which was also already on the yellow pages site).
I bet there are more. I live in an area with a much smaller population, and there are 8 of them around... but only 2 are listed in the phone books. So, I might have to just ask around when I get there.

Thanks for the help though.
 
Im about 20min from Redding, there really isnt too many high end shops but your best bet would prob be the darkside...or maybe even Sub-culture in Red Bluff that is right on the way from redding bout 30miles south

dude!!! I want one!!!!
 
Thanks everyone. Maybe I'll try the Red Bluff one if Redding doesn't go really well.

The last one isn't a bubbler, just a fancy sherlock. I really like how the colors turned out on that one - here's a close up of the other side of it.
I've done bubblers using that same sort of design (curly attachments). Here's an old one - the stripes all over it were done with a transparent green, that for some reason totally washed out, and wound up being almost clear.
