P I LC H U C K G L A S S S C H O O L Pilchuck is an internationally recognized school that offers an in-depth education in glass. The school is located fifty miles north of Seattle, Washington, in the forested foothills of the Cascade Range, overlooking Puget Sound. Each summer, 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, 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.

JAMES BAKER Executive Director

Dear Friends, Since its founding in 1971, Pilchuck Glass School has been recognized as the preeminent school for the study and creation of works of art in glass. During the past four decades, it has served thousands of aspiring and accomplished artists from around the globe. Today, this prestigious school remains as vibrant and innovative as the day it opened. Its core values are as enduring as its success: to inspire creativity in the making of art, to transform individuals and to develop their personal lives and professional careers, and to build a community of mutually supportive artists.

T im OT H Y D. N oonan Board President

Raise your paddle and inspire the next generation of artists working in glass Tonight, you have a special opportunity, through your generosity, to support our educational programs. Each year, Pilchuck Glass School awards more than $200,000 in financial assistance, allowing aspiring and talented artists to participate in our intensive workshops and residencies. Make a direct impact and help ensure that all Pilchuck participants receive the best possible education.

Your contribution supports :

Enthusiastic students who develop their creative and professional skills through an open exchange of knowledge in a mutually supportive environment. Renowned teachers who share their experiences and guide students through a program that offers unlimited access to the most comprehensive facilities and equipment. Influential artists who explore fresh directions and new expression in glass in their exhibitions, presentations, and publications. An international community of artists, teachers, and students who, together, create a lifelong collaborative network of support.

Pilchuck has no borders; all ages, nationalities, and skill levels are here, feeding off the energy of creation. I sabel and R uben Toledo Artists in Residence, 2013

Please help strengthen Pilchuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, encouraging individuals to push the boundaries of possibilities in glass, fostering creativity in a place where people work to help one another, and sustaining the vibrant campus and unparalleled experience that have become the hallmarks of Pilchuck Glass School.

In its thirty-fifth year, the Pilchuck Annual Auction has become a renowned charity auction of glass works created by an international roster of artists. Its success is based on the collaboration between artists who generously donate excellent works of art and individuals who wish to purchase these remarkable pieces. Both contribute, the artists because they believe in the mission of a school that has played a formative role in their artistic and professional development and the purchasers because they are drawn to the beauty of the work. By making a purchase at the auction, or by donating to Fund-the-Future, you are helping to ensure that Pilchuck continues to strengthen its role as the most comprehensive program in the education of aspiring and established artists working in glass. All of us at Pilchuck Glass School offer our gratitude for the dedication and work of so many who make this auction possibleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the hundreds of generous artists, the auction chair and committee, the trustees, volunteers, staffâ&#x20AC;Śand you, for your participation and generous support! We look forward to seeing you at this very special event, celebrating our rich heritage and a vibrant future of artistic experimentation and expression in glass. With sincere thanks,

2013 HIGHLIGHTS

2013 EMERGING ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE This two-month residency provides artists in early or mid-career transition in their professional lives with time and space for research and experimentation. The residency requires a project proposal and supports kilnworking, coldworking, printmaking, and use of mixed media but not hot glassworking. The EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, so no instruction is available and some glassmaking experience is required. Apply online by January 15, 2014.

in memoriam

MARY SHIRLEY

Jiří Harcuba

October 15, 1939–January 23, 2013

December 6, 1928–July 26, 2013

Mary Shirley was a dedicated member of the Pilchuck Glass School community for more than twenty-five years. She served on Pilchuck’s Board of Trustees from 1988 to 1993 and as the auction chair in 1992. Shirley also co-chaired the school’s twenty-fifth anniversary capital campaign and worked on the advisory council from 1998 to 2001.

Jiří Harcuba was a world-renowned master engraver who was also recognized in the field of coin and medal design. Born in the glassmaking village of Harrachov (in what is now the Czech Republic), Harcuba dedicated much of his life to teaching and inspired countless people the world over to find their own creative voices.

In addition to her outstanding service to Pilchuck and her support for artists, Shirley is remembered for her delightful and fun-loving approach to life. She could be found attending campus board meetings with her new dog in tow, looking fabulous at the annual auction in a baby blue gown, or entertaining collectors in her beautiful home. She loved her family and friends in an intense and individualized way. This is how she will be remembered.

Mary touched many lives. Everybody has a story about Mary, which is itself a tribute. She was a visionary collector and a heck of a nice person. I miss her. —Ginny Ruffner

Harcuba first taught at Pilchuck Glass School in 1985 and returned as an instructor many times over the next several decades. He designed the annual auction centerpiece in 2012. Harcuba lived life to its fullest, with boundless energy and a gracious spirit. He understood life as a poem and found beauty in even the smallest and most overlooked things. Often, he would speak of “the art of life,” which he said was “our perceptions of the secrets [of the world] around and inside us.” His approach and prolific teaching, and his belief that anyone can be an engraver, have attracted young people to the practice, which is slowly but surely experiencing a revival. —April Surgent

Looking for a New Life, 1986, Jiří Harcuba

ABOUT THE CENTERPIECES

2 0 1 3 C enterpiece P roject Pilchuck Glass School is honored to recognize Lynn Everett Read as the 35th Annual Auction centerpiece designer. Lynn Everett Read owns and operates Vitreluxe, LLC, in Portland, Oregon, where his creative energy is expressed in signature murrine vessels as well as a studio line of glassware. His work is in the collection of the Muskegon Museum of Art, Michigan, and the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, and can also be found at Vessel, London, and Pismo Fine Art Glass, Denver. Published widely, Read’s work has been seen in magazines such as Luxe, Elle Decor, Sunset, Bon Appétit, Metropolitan Home, and American Craft. Read has worked as a gaffer and teaching assistant at Pilchuck and was recently recognized by Wallpaper* magazine for domestic design. Centerpiece Designer: Lynn Everett Read Project Manager: Randy Walker Assistant Project Managers: K. Leah Duperreault and Morgan Peterson Coldwork Coordinators: Shane Caryl and Niels Cosman Gaffers: Ross Richmond and Rob Stern

POLETURNERS UNION, LOCAL 1201 About the C enterpieces Inspired by quartz crystals (silicon dioxide) found in silica sand, one of the compounds that make beautiful glass, Read’s design is a testament to this base material and a metaphor for the creative growth of the individual artists who find inspiration at Pilchuck. The 2013 centerpieces explore the most vitreous form of melted quartz, illustrating the diverse manifestations of this material in geometric tangents and clusters of individual forms. “Pilchuck was founded on a passion for glassmaking and learning,” says Read. “Today, international artists arrive on campus with one common goal: to explore glass as a creative medium. These centerpieces exemplify the diverse directions and growth the artists explore with the material. I see it in the interaction of creative problem solving among artists, their collective goal, and the frequent discovery of new artistic directions.”

The Centerpiece Project began informally in the mid-1980s with artists such as Dale Chihuly and William Morris contributing small creations for Pilchuck Glass School’s early auctions. Later, the production of the Annual Auction centerpiece was formalized with the establishment of the Poleturners Union, Local 1201, and the call for design proposals. Each year, a new design is juried into a collection of auction centerpieces that spans decades, and volunteer glassblowers are invited to Pilchuck to carry out the production.

Each spring, a group of volunteer glassblowers from around the world gathers on Pilchuck’s campus to carry out the vision of the centerpiece designer. This team is fondly known as the Poleturners Union, Local 1201. Thank you, 2013 Poleturners and production team.

This year, Pilchuck honors the 20th anniversary of the Poleturners Union, Local 1201

Ross Richmond began working with glass at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1991, graduating with a BFA in glass and a minor in metals. He has studied and taught at the Penland School of Crafts and Pilchuck Glass School. Richmond began working as an apprentice to William Morris in 1997, eventually becoming a member of his team. His pieces are typically narrative, working mainly with figurative elements and symbolic objects. Richmond’s work shows at a number of galleries across the country and he teaches in the US and Canada. He has worked with William Morris, Jane Rosen, Preston Singletary, and Dale Chihuly.

Davide Salvadore is a Muranese maestro descended from generations of glassworkers. He has collaborated with venerated glasshouses such as Venini, Barovier&Toso, Nason&Moretti, and La Murrina. For Salvadore, working with glass is a way of life and a reverence for glass and its traditions are inherent in everything he does. He combines traditional Italian techniques and elements in innovative ways in his work, which reflects influences such as African tribal imagery, Muranese roads, and the smokestacks of glasshouses. His tireless quest for perfection and drive to push the boundaries of his material have led him to new ways of thinking about glass and its capabilities.

He is primarily known for his wood carvings, but for the past several years he has devoted his attention to primarily to the imagery of boats. The introduction of glass elements into his work is recent and is meant to provoke a more ethereal or other worldly sensibility. The recycled glass for this piece was donated by J.P. Canlis.

Bertil Vallien is best known as a master of sand-casting. His meter-long ships are prized by collectors and represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and the Victoria Albert Museum. Early on Vallien discovered that glass is a difficult material, he says, “but one that offers a richness of possibility with its marriage of extremes: heat and cold, light and dark.” The exhibition catalog for the La Biennale di Venezia in Venice Italy, observes: “Encountering the art of Bertil Vallien for the first time is akin to the experience of nineteenth-century archeologists discovering an ancient treasure… .”

Karen LaMonte makes sculpture that explores ideas of beauty and identity by using clothing and the human form in absentia. She received a Fulbright in 1999 to create monumental cast-glass sculptures in the Czech Republic. In 2007 she went to Japan to study the kimono as an investigation into the Japanese use of clothing as social language, which became the foundation of a new body of work in rusted iron, ceramic, bronze and glass. Her work has been exhibited and collected by numerous museums and she continues her investigation into the tropes of beauty in her studio in Prague, where she is preparing new work to for the 2015 Venice Biennale.

Nick Mount is one of Australia’s most accomplished and celebrated glass artists. Approaching his fifth decade working in the field, he has been at the forefront of innovation and achievement since the 1970s. Mount’s earliest and most enduring influences include the US west coast glass scene and the traditions of the Venetians. Informed but not confined by tradition, Mount is known for his production, commission and exhibition work. Since the late 1990s, the latter has comprised of an evolving series of sculptural assemblages. Ranging in scale and character, they sensitively combine a respect for traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques with an Australian wit.

7½ x 6 in Unsigned, 2013 Blown glass, calcite crystal Amy “Bug” Crawford received her BFA in sculpture and geology from Alfred University in 2010. Her interest in geological phenomenon along with the spiritual world led her to consider herself as an “archaeologist of hidden dimensions and parallel universes.” She combines her ideas channeled during meditation, spontaneity, and encounters with natural earth elements and believes the objects manifested from these experiences posses a certain magic and medicine of love and light that lift the viewer to a higher plane of awareness.

Growing up in Pittsburgh allowed Elizabeth Fortunato to be a part of the local arts scene in many roles. As an emerging artist, she chose to return to her hometown after pursuing a BFA in glass sculpture. She is inspired by her humble city, its history and the personal narratives of the residents. Proximity to aging family members allows Fortunato to learn about their experiences and capture their stories, casting them in glass to realize permanence in an otherwise fading memory.

Several years after completing a career in science and mathematics, Roy Bruno discovered glassblowing and embraced it with a passion. Bruno has studied his craft at the Pilchuck Glass School, the Pratt Fine Arts Center and the Redmond School of Glass. His signature piece is a new silhouette not seen before in glass offerings, the Gavia Crescenta. Commonly known as a crescent loon, it is a recently evolved bird species that requires minimal care in captivity. Not particularly adept at floating on water, this crescent loon prefers an indoor nesting site on a mantel or shelf.

Kelly Howard began blowing glass in 1997. Since that time she has developed her own way of working with layering and chemical reactions, using glass color more like paint. Her work is influenced by nature and memories of forms from her studies and travels. Howard received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she was a presidential merit scholar. She also received a BA in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and studied at Seymour College, Adelaide, Australia; Pilchuck Glass School; The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass; Eugene Glass School; universities in Valencia, Spain and Perugia, Italy; and Penland School of Crafts.

Jeff Lindsay brings more than 20 years of experience in the industrial arts to his company, Cutting Edge Products. In the 1970s, he started making tools for artists working in glass while working at Orient and Flume Art Glass. Because of the difficulty of working with the preferred tool steel, D2, he put the tool business on hold. In 1998 water jet cutting became available and he established Cutting Edge Products. Has dedicated himself to the evolution and production of the finest tools for working with glass.

He is currently the facility manager at Glass Axis, Columbus, Ohio. His works are a fabrication of the remnants of memory and a youthful imagination. Through glass, these vignettes of nostalgic mythos and heroic ethos are created as an attempt to capture the ideologies of our culture.

Jason Elliott has been working in glass for over ten years. For multiple summer sessions, he has served in the role of flat shop coordinator at Pilchuck Glass School and as a studio assistant at Penland School of Crafts. Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Elliott now lives and works in Eugene, Oregon.

Diana Lynn Stearns has created art in glass since she was 14 years old. Studying sandblasting, fusing, slumping, sand and lost wax casting, stained glass and enamel painting on glass over the years at Pilchuck Glass School, Seattle’s Pratt Fine Arts Center and extensive private exploration have provided Stearns the means to playfully capture color, light and form in glass.

Orbix Hot Glass has distinguished itself by its refined handmade blown glass since 2002. For owners Cal and Christy Breed, Orbix emerged as an idea in the late 1990’s as Cal studied at schools around the country, gleaning knowledge and technique from some of the best glassmakers in the world. Today, Orbix blows each piece with great attention to form, balance and color. The collection is sold by select galleries and online stores. With the launch of orbixhotglass.com, Orbix is making handmade glass available with the convenience of online ordering.

Julie Conway is the owner of Illuminata Art Glass Design LLC, a glass design studio creating functional and sculptural glass artworks. Her first molten blob of glass was formed in 1997 and she never looked back. Taking every opportunity to work as an assistant to learn glassmaking from local glass studios and studying with European glass masters, Conway has dedicated her practice to refining traditional techniques with a contemporary design aesthetic. Her custom glassworks are commissioned internationally. Recently relocated to Seattle, Conway enjoys the rich glass community and works as a flameworking instructor at Pratt Fine Arts Center.

Mara Perez works with fire to create objects that reflect plasticity and radiance. Her practice of yoga and open-water swimming evoke a sense of fluidity that invigorates her spirit and creativity. Perez pursues balance through asymmetry and contrast. She uses borosilicate glass, metals and gems in her creations and each piece constitutes a whole, while being part of a continuum in her exploration of form, color, and content. She draws from flameworking traditions used in Italy to create contemporary sculptures and studied at Pilchuck Glass School, The Crucible in Oakland, California and Public Glass in San Francisco.

His work ranges from sculpture and installation to performance and has been featured in venues such as the Seattle Art Museum and the 2011 Texas Biennial. He was an emerging artist in residence at Pilchuck Glass School in 2012. Sonnenberg’s work is fueled by a reverence for the power of beauty and a love of those things that are not what they first appear to be.

Jason Christian began working with glass in 1997, which encouraged him to begin his own journey as a creative artisan. Over the past 13 years, Christian has established his professional career with several notable artists from the Seattle area. During this time, study of form ignited his interest in classical Venetian techniques and he began creating his collection of functional works of art. Christian draws his inspiration from his natural surroundings, pulling from the craft, design, and historical elements of glass making.

Much like snapshots taken out of the context of time, each object represents a moment within its previous reality. It is through the representational compiling of these moments that a new structure is formed, dictated by each individual unit’s placement in the whole.

Michael Drake has been active in the glass medium for the past seven years, primarily at Pratt Fine Arts Center. Although working in all forms of glass (blowing, fusing, kiln), his main passion has been with hot glass sand casting. He draws particular inspiration from the aesthetic of Bertil Vallien’s work. When not dipping into the furnace or grinding away in the cold shop, Drake designs advanced technology commercial aircraft for a local aerospace conglomerate.

Peter Voulkos (1924–2002) was an American artist who changed the course of studio ceramics in the late twentieth century. He is known for his abstract expressionist ceramic sculptures, which crossed the traditional divide between ceramic crafts and fine arts and often translated his sculptural aesthetic into lithographs.

Wesley Fleming is inspired by the shapes and colors of nature, spending much of his spare time exploring under rocks and logs outdoors. With his glass insects, Fleming mimics actual species with intricate detail. In other pieces, he conjures creatures from dreams and his inner reality. Fleming began working with hot glass in 2001 and finds great joy in sculpting it, effecting the transformation of a brittle and cold substance to a molten and pliable material. His work can be found at select galleries around the United States.

Valerie Pohorsky began her glass education at San Jose State University in 2005. She cherishes the last five years at Pilchuck Glass School, where she took on the roles of scholarship student, teaching assistant, staff member, and intern. Her small vignettes are a tool to digest the morbid curiosities of life using colorful characters and settings to ease the sting. When not at Pilchuck, she is a freelance hotshop assistant and beadmaking instructor at Bay Area Glass Institute in San Jose, California. She is grateful to Jonathan Yao for his support.

Suzannah Terauds obtained her BFA in glass with honors from Monash University in 2007. She continues to work in glass and lives in Melbourne, Australia.

Danielle Rickaby, Kumiko Nakajima and David King were brought together from three separate continents by the adhesive properties of molten glass. Their collective interests in vessel making, nature and the refraction of sunlight into the visible colour spectrum allowed then to become a fine teaching trio in 2013 during session three at Pilchuck Glass School. This collective of glass artists excels in accent deciphering and gathering the exact amount of glass needed for any hot glass application. Beholden to the creative force that is Tom Moore, Rickaby, Nakajima, and King plan to continue to appropriate Moore’s aesthetic in their collaborative effort for at least another moment.

Born in Montreal, Canada, Joanne Teasdale’s art career developed from a life of observation and a desire to bring forth her view of the human condition. As an artist, she is a witness and a creator. As an activist, she exposes the challenges and the achievements of humanity. She explore life’s legacies and imprints left behind. She is a multi-media artist who flows between photography, photorealist painting and the fusion of images to glass. She lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is represented by Bullseye Gallery in Portland, Oregon.

Licha Nicholson began creating with stained glass in 1983. Her move to Seattle from Kansas in 1998 continued her journey creating with glass, but in a different direction and technique. She studied at Pilchuck Glass School in 1999 and has had the opportunity to study under numerous glass artists in the Pacific Northwest. Presently, Nicholson resides in Marietta, Georgia and creates as a full-time glass artist in her home-based studio. Her studies have taken her throughout the US to study under additional master glass artists. Her work is exhibited by galleries and museums throughout the US.

From Vermont, a world of ice, snow, and clouds, Abi Spring finds herself most engaged when looking at the mysterious in nature: blue shadow patterns made by wind on the surface of a snow covered field, distant mountains barely visible through mist, fish swimming below a layer of black ice. She studied glass at the Australian National University, was a 2011 emerging artist in residence at Pilchuck Glass School and shows with Bullseye Gallery in Portland, Oregon.

Rick and Janet Nicholson have worked together as Nicholson Blown Glass in Auburn, California for 34 years. Rick first attended Pilchuck Glass School in 1981 as a teaching assistant for Dale Chihuly and Fritz Driesbach. He has been inspired by Dino Rosin and Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen to expand his blowing skills to include hot sculpting. In August 2013 he was honored to attend Pilchuck with Pino Signoretto. While Rick is the glass blower, Janet is the color and design part of their collaboration. Their work involves figurative sculpture, lighting and wall installations. Currently, they are working on Shorebirds and Quail.

Kiki Smith (b. 1954, Nuremberg, Germany) is a leading figure among artists addressing philosophical, social, and spiritual aspects of human nature, whose career spans more than three decades. Smith employs a wide-range of non-traditional materials ranging from hair and latex to beeswax and gold to a diverse body of work that includes painting, photography, bookmaking, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. From Smith’s transgressive works of the mid-1980s that dealt with mortality, bodily dissolution and decay to her explorations of the natural world and domesticity, her work is layered with meaning and metaphor.

Nick Davis is a glass and metal artist living and working in the Seattle area. Originally from Kansas, he graduated from Emporia State University and wandered west, eventually settling in Seattle.

Jason Chakravarty is a mixed-media object maker. The majority of his work is cast glass and often incorporates neon for illumination. Glass can be anything: thick, thin, shiny, dull, rough, smooth, transparent, or opaque. It is the only material that can capture light. While material and notably glass are important, his emphasis is within the narrative focusing on ideals within culture. His most recent works reflect on human relationships, communication, and social networking.

Sherri Gamble is an artist drawn to narrative who lives and works in the Seattle area. Texture is the undercurrent of her work, as each form and surface creates a story of its own. Living in the Pacific Northwest since 1996 has added another layer of appreciation of nature. Exploring the dark forests and open fields with her husband and dogs grounds and inspires her. Currently, she teaches and cultivates the kiln-casting student community at Pratt Fine Arts Center. Her cast glass works have been displayed at venues and exhibitions across Seattle.

Kumiko Nakajima grew up in Japan. She visited Australia on a working holiday in 2005 and is currently working there. Nakajima’s exhibition works are inspired by an interest in form and colour, and an exploration of the straight line. Her pieces are essays in subtlety, the delicate contrast in tonal shifts, and the point where opacity meets translucence.

Patricia Davidson has been working with glass for 22 years. Nature, color, light, and a love of formal sculpture are the driving forces behind her art. She earned an MFA from the University of Illinois. After a residency at Pilchuck Glass School, she worked on Dale Chihuly’s team for ten years and was the only woman gaffer of chandeliers at Chihuly Studio. She has worked with Pino Signoretto, Lino Tagliapietra, Flora Mace, and Joey Kirkpatrick, among others. Currently, she teaches at Wilson High School in Tacoma, in partnership with the non-profit, Hilltop Artists.

Steve Immerman is both a practicing general surgeon and glass artist. Kiln glass has been his passion for almost 20 years, yet through those years he has managed to navigate the delicate balance between art and medicine. His artwork is based on precision and technical skill, with some unpredictability and surprises–not unlike his surgical career. This year’s donation, Cardinal, demonstrates this balance very clearly. Immerman’s work is available in selected galleries throughout the United States.

Since founding Ethier Glass Studio in 1969, Linda Ethier has become known for her pioneering, innovative work with fused and kilncast glass. Her work is in many private collections and she has received numerous commissions for site specific glass work for both corporate and public installations. Her new work uses images of things gathered and cherished since childhood: feathers, fallen leaves, bones, egg shells, twigs, and the odd mysterious trinket. These can be saved as treasures to be revisited, to be seen and pondered during quiet moments; objects that when viewed evoke long forgotten memories. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon.

Chris Lowry grew up in his father’s glass shop on the northern Oregon coast. After moving to O’ahu where he worked as an assistant teacher at Punahou School, Lowry moved to Maui to work with Bill and Sally Worcester at Hot Island Glass. A desire to blend his sense of marketability with his personal creativity led him to Alfred University in upstate New York where he earned a BFA with an emphasis on blown glass and steel sculpture in 1996. In May 2000, Lowry and his longtime friend, Chris Richards, became the co-owners of the long time family business.

Fahan Sky McDonagh received her bachelors from the University of Central Florida in painting and her masters from Rochester Institute of Technology in glass and glass sculpture. McDonagh works as a sculptor focusing in glass, using many different techniques to express an idea. She is currently exploring present moment awareness as experienced through personal connections in nature. Through acute observation and intuitive response to these experiences, she records memories and translates them in space. Fragility and transparency are unique qualities of glass that visually interpret the experience of light and shadow, ephemeral space and the temporality of nature.

David Calles is a glassblower originally from Argentina. At age 16 he went to live in London, England where he did his “O” and “A” levels. In 1980 he spent six months in Mexico where he learned to work silver. Calles received a BA in arts from Brown University in 1990 and, after graduating, spent a year in Albuquerque, New Mexico working in jewelry. He went on to attend Sheridan College between 1994 and 1999, majoring in glass. Calles came to Victoria in 2001 and started his own glassblowing studio, Miramontes Artworks, located in ten-mile point, Victoria, British Columbia.

Ryan Staub is a Seattle born artist working in glass. He has worked with many great glass artists in the Seattle area as well as abroad. His work seeks to examine glass history and make technical innovation based on historical techniques and processes. The Negative Murrine work is about exploring a new take on murrine, by using negative space instead of color as a design element. With this he makes a statement about the recent exaltation of glass to the status of high art through highlighting how non-functional his sculptural vessels are.

Thor and Jennifer Bueno began collaborating ten years ago after meeting at Pilchuck Glass School. After completing a three-year residency at Penland School of Crafts they stayed to raise a family. Thor started blowing glass in 1979. While studying under Italo Scanga he received his BFA from University of California, San Diego and later his MFA from Alfred University. He attended Pilchuck on a full scholarship in 1986 and returned as an instructor in 2006. Thor was a founding member of The B Team and received a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation in 1996. Jennifer attended Rhode Island School of Design where she received a BFA in glass. She has also earned two MFAs, one from Bard College in sculpture and one from Alfred University in glass.

Antoine Pierini began assisting his father making artistic pieces. Showing from the start a strong personality, Pierini created his own elegant style. Directly inspired from the observance of nature and its changing landscapes, his work opens up a symbolic world full of interconnecting links. Pierini’s pieces seem to communicate with the surrounding environment. Today this is a very important concept in his artistic creations.

Roger Parramore fell under the spell of glass at the age of nine when he sat glued in place, watching traveling lampworkers spin ships and unicorns. Through the years, his relationship with glass has come to define a good bit of who he is. He pursued his interest through an apprenticeship in scientific glassblowing and then on into the art glass world, teaching and showing his work. Forty-one years later, Parramoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with this most universal of materials is ongoing. From art to manufacturing color and teaching, glass has been a near life-long companion.

Chihuly Garden and Glass is proud to support Pilchuck Glass School and the many artists they inspire.

In March 2010 glass artist Tracy Glover’s studio was inundated in the largest flood Rhode Island had seen in 200 years. Like many of the people affected by the incredibly rare event, she did not have flood insurance. Enter CERF+. “CERF+ helped me with grants and loans immediately, which let me set up my business elsewhere,” Glover recalled. “The financial assistance held us over until FEMA and the Small Business Administration came through later.” “What’s so great about CERF+ is that the people helping you are part of your artistic community. You feel supported by fellow artists. I can’t stress enough when you go through this—and I lost eighty percent of everything in my studio—that goodwill like CERF+’s is priceless.”

GLOSSARY OF GLASS TERMS

Bits Pieces of molten glass snipped off a blowpipe or punty and applied hot to a glass form.

Moldblown Glass formed into a shape by being blown into a mold, typically made of wood, metal, or plaster.

Cane Thin rods of glass, usually with a twisted pattern in multiple colors used to add pattern to blown glass.

Murrine Patterned glass cane cut into sections in order to form small disks that are used in decorating glass or constructing glass forms.

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.

Off-hand Formed freehand on the end of a punty or blowpipe. No mold is used.

Etch To create a design by cutting away the surface of finished glass with a tool or by treating it with acid.

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.

Flameworking or lampworking The process of using a gas-fueled torch or lamp to heat glass rods for sculpting, blowing, and beadmaking.

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.

Fuse To melt together two or more pieces of glass in a kiln.

Sandblast To blow or blast sand onto a piece, etching away layers of glass. Masking is used to create patterns.

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.

Sandcast To ladle hot glass into a formed mold made of specialized sand.

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.

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.

Kiln A high-temperature electric oven used for casting, fusing, and slumping glass.

Smalti A soft, intensely colored Venetian glass that is chipped into squares for use in creating traditional mosaics.

Kilncast The use of a mold, usually plaster, filled with crushed glass, which is melted in a kiln to produce a solid glass form.

Threads Thin strands of glass, usually colored, that may be added to the glass in a variety of ways for different effects.

Laminate To use heat or glue to join pieces of glass.

Vitreography The process of creating a print from a glass plate.

Lampworking See flameworking. Lost wax A method of casting whereby a wax or waxcoated model is embedded in clay and then baked so that the wax melts and is “lost,” leaving a mold into which hot glass is poured. The mold must be broken in order to retrieve the cast object.

160

Overlay A thin layer of clear or colored glass on the outside of a piece.

Wrap A strand of glass, typically but not always of a contrasting color, applied hot to a vessel. Zanfirico A multi-colored cane made by gathering a bundle of rods of different colors, and heating it until it is soft. The bundle is attached to two pontils and elongated by drawing. At the same time, the bundle is twisted to produce a spiral pattern. Zanfirico, is a synonym for vetro a retorti.
