Alan Masaoka is a glass artist. He does commissioned architectural stained glass, and glass artwork. We had neighboring studios when I was in Carmel Valley. Well, actually, my studio was in the alley behind his. I would direct people to my studio by first asking if they knew their way to his. As often as not they did, so I'd tell them to just walk through his studio, out his back door, then up the stairs to mine. Why not give 'em the scenic route?
