PILCHUCK THROUGH THE
KALEIDOSCOPE 42ND ANNUAL AUCTION & GALA Saturday, October 17, 2020
WELCOME TO PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL'S AUCTION GALA AND CELEBRATION OF GLASS
PILCHUCK GL ASS SCHOOL Pilchuck Glass School fosters and educates a worldwide community that explores the creative use of glass in art and design. The school is located fifty miles north of Seattle, Washington, in the forested foothills of the Cascade Range, overlooking Puget Sound. Each summer and fall, Pilchuck offers a broad spectrum of courses in the use of glass as an expressive material along with annual residencies for emerging and established artists. Pilchuck’s programs, residencies, and events emphasize experimentation, investigation, teamwork, and personal growth. Students and instructors from all over the world and across the United States come to Pilchuck. Since its founding in 1971 by Dale Chihuly, Anne Gould Hauberg (1917–2016), and John H. Hauberg (1916–2002), Pilchuck has been a creative retreat where artists teach artists in a supportive environment. Pilchuck is open to applications from novice, aspiring, and professional artists with the desire and commitment to learn in any of three dozen one-week to three-week courses offered from May to September. The school also invites renowned artists who typically work in media other than glass to expand their art through collaboration and individual research by working with accomplished glassmakers. Fall and spring residencies provide emerging and established artists working in glass the time and space to develop new processes or create fresh bodies of work through individual and collaborative projects. Pilchuck’s outreach and special events connect our extended community of artists and supporters. Events take place on campus, in Seattle, and throughout the United States and abroad, showcasing the breadth and depth of contemporary art created with glass.

WELCOME, FROM YOUR HOSTS ROGER MACPHERSON Board President
Dear Friends, Welcome to our first virtual auction, Pilchuck: Through the Kaleidoscope! For forty-one years, we have gathered in Seattle to celebrate the finest in contemporary glass and to support Pilchuck Glass School. This year, our global community will join the celebration from the comfort of their homes. Since our founding nearly fifty years ago, Pilchuck has earned its reputation as the world’s leading organization for glass art education. Our mission remains the same: Pilchuck is dedicated to a worldwide community that explores the creative use of glass in art and design.
NANCY MACPHERSON Auction Co-Chair
This event has always required the support of our generous artist community, dedicated volunteers, hardworking staff, and the incredible Auction Committee. Yet this year, these people came together stronger than ever. As our world evolved, our event continuously shifted and decisions were made that presented a new auction experience: • We’ve been able to support donating artists by offering greater commissions. • We’ve invited people to participate from around the world by utilizing innovative technology. • We’ve offered hybrid events like Art Walkthroughs at Fremont Studios and Virtual Previews.
BARBARA WORTLEY Auction Co-Chair
• Mostly, we’ve come together and collaborated in the most creative ways yet! Despite the challenges 2020 has presented, one thing has remained the same: our entire community has worked tirelessly to ensure the auction is a success, and we have a fun night in store! This year, more than ever, Pilchuck is reliant on the proceeds from the auction to fulfill our mission. When you purchase a piece of art or raise your paddle, you are showing your belief in that mission and in the future of glass art education. So bid high, and bid often!
CHRISTOPHER R. TAYLOR Executive Director
We hope to see you next year for our 50th Anniversary in 2021. Thank you for joining the celebration – enjoy the evening!

GLOSSARY OF GL ASS TERMS
BITS Pieces of molten glass snipped off a blowpipe or punty and applied hot to a glass form. CANE Thin rods of glass, usually with a twisted pattern in multiple colors used to add pattern to blown glass. DICHROIC Manufactured glass that is one color when seen by reflected light and another color when light shines through it. The effect can be achieved by applying a dichroic coating to glass that otherwise would not have this property. ELECTROPLATE The process of adhering metal to glass by dipping the glass into an electrically charged solution. ETCH To create a design by cutting away the surface of finished glass with a tool or by treating it with acid. FLAMEWORKING OR LAMPWORKING The process of using a gas-fueled torch or lamp to heat glass rods for sculpting, blowing, and beadmaking. FUSE To melt together two or more pieces of glass in a kiln. GRAAL A glassblowing technique wherein a thick “blank” or core form is blown, usually with two or more layers of color. The blank is then engraved, bringing out the underlying color, much as is done with a cameo. The engraved blank is subsequently reheated and blown to its full shape. HOT CAST To ladle hot glass from a furnace into a mold made of sand, steel, or plaster. INCALMO A glassblowing process that joins two or more bubbles of hot glass together, resulting in defined bands of color in a vessel or object. INSCISO A technique for patterning the surface of glass by creating deep incisions, usually with hand-engraving tools. KILN A high-temperature electric oven used for casting, fusing, and slumping glass. KILNCAST The use of a mold, usually plaster, filled with crushed glass, which is melted in a kiln to produce a solid glass form. LAMINATE To use heat or glue to join pieces of glass.
MURRINE Patterned glass cane cut into sections in order to form small disks that are used in decorating glass or constructing glass forms. OVERLAY A thin layer of clear or colored glass on the outside of a piece. OFF-HAND Formed freehand on the end of a punty or blowpipe. No mold is used. PÂTE DE VERRE From French, meaning “glass paste.” The paste is made from crushed glass and enamel paint. It is applied to the surface of a mold and fired in a kiln at high temperature. ROLL-UP In this process, multiple pieces of flat glass are fused into a tile. The tile is reheated, rolled up onto a gather, and then blown into a three-dimensional object. SANDBLAST To blow or blast sand onto a piece, etching away layers of glass. Masking is used to create patterns. SANDCAST To ladle hot glass into a formed mold made of specialized sand. SCAVO Corrosive chemical material applied to the surface of hot glass that gives the final piece a matte finish. SCRUFFITTO The technique of adding color to the surface of glass and then scratching it away, causing a reverse image to appear. SHARD A small fragment of glass. Colored shards may be melted into a piece for decoration. SLUMP To heat a sheet of glass in a kiln until it is soft enough to assume the shape of a mold without becoming molten. SMALTI A soft, intensely colored Venetian glass that is chipped into squares for use in creating traditional mosaics. THREADS Thin strands of glass, usually colored, that may be added to the glass in a variety of ways for different effects. VITREOGRAPHY The process of creating a print from a glass plate.
LAMPWORKING See flameworking.
