Leucadia Art Glass

A few weekends a year Richard Blodgett, one of Leucadia's many artists, opens his studio to the public. You've seen his signs.

These signs guide you to the studio.

The backyard studio

Some of the work.

At work.

My daughter is into the striking colors. My budget conscious son likes the wholesale prices.

Leucadia's other glass artist is Joel Bloomberg. Joel's known for his jellyfish lamps.

Bloomberg's H101 Storefront.

English spiritualists settled Leucadia in 1870 and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes, in the little Roadside Park. The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him. Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. It's most memorable bumper sticker is "Keep Leucadia Funky." The town played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored by the city in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.
