Octavia Haze Gallery

You will have to make an appointment to visit this art gallery that displays glass sculpture in vessel form. All the glass is hand blown and all pieces of art on display are one of a kind with a very modish flair. Owned by Eric Melampy, Octavia Haze Gallery is a spacious one-room gallery that also features a small selection of paintings, prints and photographs.

The gallery showcases artwork by Tsuchida Yasuhiko, a native Japanese artist who worked at the Franco Schiavon glass factory in Murano, Italy. Of all the works on display, Yasuhiko's is most remarkable. Other major contributors hail from Italy, Seattle and the Bay area. All pieces of art are original and signed. You can also get good biographical information on artists.

If you have queries, flag the staff; they are quite knowledgeable and will assist you in a friendly manner. In case you think you want to make a purchase, first check out the small items such as glass cherries which are quite inexpensive at under $20.
 
For a comfortable stay, try Hayes Valley Inn. It is affordable, European styled, and near fine restaurants.
