PROGRAMS 2020
T H E C R E AT I V E U S E O F G L A S S I N A R T A N D D E S I G N . Greetings fellow artists, thinkers, makers, and material enthusiasts, The extensive program laid out in this catalog represents the forty-ninth year of existence for Pilchuck Glass School. Although the offerings have changed radically in format and content over the years, we retain the pioneer spirit and commitment to discovery that was integral to our founder’s grand experiment. As the glass field continues to expand and diversify, we remain committed to both honoring our roots and embracing the innovation and evolution that has made Pilchuck an international center for the study of glass. You will notice over the coming years a series of program sessions that focus intensely on individual countries or regions. As we approach our 50 th Anniversary, we will take the opportunity to celebrate the guiding influences that have shaped Pilchuck from every corner of the glass globe. It has truly been an international endeavor and we will honor this by presenting a peek into the future of glass for these regions as we look ahead to the next 50 years. Building on the momentum of the upcoming GAS Conference in Sweden, we will begin this new Cross-Currents series with a session focused on the Scandinavian region. This Nordic invasion will be followed by The Jam Session, an opportunity for a cacophonous campus-wide exploration of the glorious potential of community generated noise, sound, and music. Families Valued will continue the important work of my predecessor, Tina Aufiero, to make the Pilchuck campus and programs accessible and meaningful to artists with families. For the first time ever, we will run a concurrent Youth Camp, creating a rare supported opportunity for parents and their children to participate in the Pilchuck experience for a truly intergenerational learning environment. Loquacious will present classes from a wild group of glass artists who embrace storytelling and narrative in their practice. At the other end of the spectrum, Intelligent Design will be a session dedicated to advances in the design and fabrication of utilitarian and decorative objects. We will conclude the summer with Builders, which will pay tribute to the original necessity of Pilchuck’s pioneers to provide for their own shelter through a wide-ranging look at approaches to both traditional and unorthodox glass fabrication and construction. Throw in an action-packed Pre-Session, our largest Fall Program ever, youth outreach programs, and an expanding slate of residencies, and you have a myriad of ways to enjoy the Pilchuck experience. So, come learn with us, come make with us, come jam with us, and come join the Pilchuck Family. See you all on the hill! Cheers, Ben Wright Artistic Director

SPRING TOURS + ARTISTS@WORK Pilchuck Glass School was founded in 1971 by Dale Chihuly with patrons Anne Gould Hauberg and John H. Hauberg. Dale Chihuly envisioned Pilchuck as an immersive educational experience, based on the premise that living, eating, and working together is all part of how we express ourselves through our art. Although much has changed since the 1970s, the original core values of the school endure and are voiced in the mission. Pilchuck Glass School inspires creativity, transforms individuals, and builds community. Spring is magical at Pilchuck when the campus is in full bloom. Experience the grounds and facilities that inspire hundreds of artists each year, enjoy tea or brunch in our iconic Lodge, and watch glassmaking in action during our Spring Tours and Artists@Work program. Artists@Work are glass artists who push the boundaries of the medium and who are recognized for their expertise and artistry. We welcome this year’s artists from Gray Barn Studios: Jimmy Anderegg, Conor McClellan, and Megan Stelljes, who will display their latest creations and create new work live in our studios. Spring Tours run from May 20-24, 2020. Visit our website to view tour times, purchase tickets, and join us this spring for our only open-campus event.

Hot Glass, Imagery, Printmaking, Coldworking, Design
Glassblowing, Kiln Forming, Neon, Unorthodox Techniques
Glassblowing, Mixed Media, Kinetics, Installation
This course will focus on developing rule-based systems for experimentation and design in the Hot Shop, Cold Shop, and Print Studio. By limiting variables such as time, materials, and processes, students will learn new ways to work intuitively and practice techniques for focusing creative independence. Throughout the course, students will be asked to push themselves and consider new ways of seeing their approach to artmaking. This course will cover glassblowing, finishing techniques in the Cold Shop, as well as light, imagery, and printmaking.
Utilizing an arsenal of glass-forming techniques, this course will have the unique ability to explore opportunities to crossover between traditional processes and unorthodox approaches to the material. From hot glass to kiln firing and torch work, learn how to challenge limitations of form by taking glass through multiple processes. Students will be encouraged to take risks and trust their intuition as they develop skill, discover nuances, and consider the potential of objects, elements, and process residue as tools for creative expression.
Merging traditional and experimental glass techniques, this course takes inspiration from groups of misfits that decided to abandon modern conveniences and set out for the woods seeking autonomy and creative freedom. Excursions will focus on the environment and history of Pilchuck in considering natural, remote settings as fertile spaces for unconventional ideas. Combining glass and mixed media, students will create interactive devices and kinetic contraptions that explore the potential of striking out into the unknown. Curiosity and collective effort will be essential.

Glassblowing, Mold Blowing, Graal, Cold Working, Imagery, Multiples, Installation, Optical Explorations
In this course, students will explore and challenge two of the most famous techniques in Swedish glassblowing: graal and ariel, both used to encase imagery in hot glass. Working in the Hot Shop, we will make multilayered graal and ariel blanks—and will play a bit with Swedish overlay—and even try to combine these two techniques to push them to higher levels. After creating our blanks in the Pilchuck Hot Shop, we’ll move to the Cold Shop for pattern making by drawing, cutting, sandblasting, and engraving. Come and discover how light passing through glass and encased air transforms the mundane into the magical!
Work hands-on and experimentally to examine optical phenomena in glass! Students will explore elements of historical and contemporary Scandinavian glassmaking and design, such as the graal technique. We will combine basic digital image and pattern-making techniques to suspend ideas within the transparent and mutable nature of glass. Through a combination of exercises in and outside of the Hot Shop and Cold Shop, and sculptural responses to the material, students will work through the creative phases of observation, synthesis, and manifestation.

An investigation of the sonic potential of the material world, this course will be a deep exploration into the acoustic properties of glass, wood, metal, water, and more. Students will dive into techniques to listen to and record “stuff” and manipulate sound through amplification, effects, feedback, and other sonic tricks. Students will also create and experiment with basic tools for their work, including a contact microphone and a personalized speaker. The result of the course will be a combination of sound installation, recorded works, and performance. Laptop required.
Channeling the ethos of the post-punk movement, we will make avantgarde musical objects, rhythms, and sounds; drawing influence from this group of pioneering musical contrarians who used foundational skills to rip apart conventional practice and create something new. Through traditional flameworking techniques, we will apply innovation, willful oddness, and experimental unorthodox practices to create weird and alternative musical devices. Break away from flameworking clichés and approach the studio as an instrument for possibility, skill-building, experimentation, and anarchy!
Collaborative, experimental, and hands-on, this course explores the correlations between glass (hot and cold), sound, and movement. The Hot Shop, Cold Shop, and Pilchuck’s landscape are prime performative opportunities where unconventional and improvised activities with glass and sound are set to unfold. The history of early film and the development of Foley sounds will inform our investigations. Performative in nature, this course will generate photos, videos, sound recordings, some glass objects, and most certainly, a lived experience.

Flameworking, Sculpture, Idea Development, Process
Kiln Forming, Coldworking, Form
Youth Camp (Ages 8-15)
Focusing on kiln-forming and coldworking processes, this course will start with a hands-on experience designed to expand students’ ideas and their concepts of what’s possible in kiln-formed glass. Using 3D paper and tracing-paper models, students will experiment with form and structure before cutting various forms from sheet glass and fusing or slumping them in the kilns to create three-dimensional objects. Using gravity slumping, students will have the ability to observe the moments of deformation as they happen in the kiln.
Youth are invited to explore materials alongside students, teachers, and staff. With their families, youth participants will play in the woods, cook, visit classes and workshops, and play with art. Youth will be accompanied by Pilchuck staff in exploring materials and techniques such as printmaking, 3D designing and printing, clay, and glass. More than finished products, the focus of these experiences will be to discover materials and their properties and have fun!
Delve into making meaningful sculpture through flameworking. Using borosilicate glass rods and tubing, start with basic technical exercises, building the skills needed to forge your own visual voice. Idea development will be supported by our environment, personal reflection, or wider world happenings. Each student will create an artwork that engages with the moment we are in and the place we currently exist. Technical lessons will focus on how to flamework in a detailed manner. There will be a focus on the figure, but all aspects of sculpting will be addressed.

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” —Attributed to John Muir With biomimicry as a central focus, this course will contemplate humanity’s transition from industrial to biocompatible technology. Using the Hot Shop, Cold Shop, and the Wood & Metals Shop, students will express themselves through drawing and making, culminating in works that will straddle installation, sculptural, and utilitarian realms. The class will take inspiration from systems biology and mechanics of growth to create modular components for collaborative and individual work.
In this course, students will focus on strategies in glassblowing, teamwork, and assembly. Students will begin by fine-tuning their control of heat, gravity, and centrifugal force; combining these elements to make objects with hot glass. As the class approaches more complicated forms, the mastery of these core skills will be essential to communication as we transition between the roles of gaffer and team member or assistant. Culminating in assembly, students and their team will assemble their glass components in the hotshop using a variety of approaches and strategies.
Twenty-five years ago, the Trojan Horse was the centerpiece of a Pilchuck summer session focused on glass and architecture. This reprisal will once again use glass casting as a tool to understand how casting can be a creative catalyst. Students will be taught elemental systems of sand casting and be directly engaged in a new structure on campus. Modularity, systems strategies, pattern, and aesthetics will be discussed in relation to the community and the ultimate disciplinarian; the clock. The only prerequisites are inquisitiveness and an ability to engage by learning through a direct and experimental project.

Pilchuck Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Artist Assistants (AAs) play essential roles in the educational programs by supporting the vision and goals of instructors and artists in residence. TAs ensure a smooth and successful educational experience for instructors and students. Each instructor will be aided by one or two TAs, depending on the studios used and class size. TAs should be well versed in the techniques related to the course for which they are applying. It is helpful, although not necessary, for TAs to have had previous experience at Pilchuck. AAs support the creative efforts of the artists in residence, who often have little or no experience working with glass. An AA helps the artist understand the fundamentals of glassworking and acts as a technical resource for the translation of ideas. All AAs must have extensive studio experience in various processes, an interest in collaboration, project management skills, and previous experience at Pilchuck. In addition to gaining valuable studio experience, TAs and AAs receive housing, meals, a credit in the store, and travel reimbursement (60% for TAs; 100% for AAs; restrictions apply). Visit pilchuck.org for application instructions. Applications Due: February 1, 2020 S U M M E R & FA LL STA F F
Our Summer and Fall Staff is comprised of artists or artinterested individuals who dedicate time, skill, and energy to make the campus experience welcoming and productive for all participants. This is not work-study or a tuition assistance program, Summer and Fall Staff are fully active during the session in a unique way. Arriving a few days before the start of classes, Staff prepares campus and studios to support Pilchuck’s mission—Artists helping Artists further glass education. During the session, Summer Staff participate in their roles, attend meetings, host a gallery opening, run events and activities, have studio access, sit in on artist talks, observe demos, explore the campus surroundings, and network with peers and professionals. Through this experience Summer Staff gain valuable skills, expand professional connections, meet new peers from around the world, learn new techniques, have the opportunity to produce work, and feel inspired by the dynamic community of artists in action. Summer and Fall Staff opportunities are competitive and fall into two categories: Coordinators and Campus Assistants—which roles you apply for depend on your skillset, experience, and interest in growth. Each role is important and challenging in its own way and staff works as a team to succeed. All applicants must be considerate communicators, willing to follow through with the expectations of the roles applied for and the readiness to help based on the needs of the session. Visit pilchuck.org for detailed information regarding Summer and Fall Staff opportunities and application instructions. Applications Due: February 1, 2020

The Emerging- Artist-in-Residence (EAiR) program supports six artists who are making a transition in their professional lives. Whether moving from academia to a professional studio practice, taking up a new medium, or beginning a new body of work, this immersive residency is ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. The program provides artists with the place and time to develop an idea or project in glass, with the potential for realizing a new body of work. The residency requires a project proposal and supports kilnworking, coldworking, printmaking, flameworking, woodworking, metalworking, and use of mixed media, but not hot glassworking. No instruction is available, and some glassmaking experience is required. The program provides each artist with a stipend of US $1,000, open studio space, shared cooking facilities, and a private room in a cottage with shared bath. Materials, food, and travel reimbursement are not provided. Visit pilchuck.org for application instructions and the online application form. Residency Dates: October 6–November 22, 2020 Applications Due: January 9, 2020 J O H N H . H A U B E R G F E LLO W S H I P
Named for Pilchuck co-founder John H. Hauberg (1916–2002), the fellowship was established to encourage collaboration among a group of outstanding, professional artists. Groups of up to six members are invited to submit proposals for utilizing the studios and campus environment for research and development of artwork based on a common theme or a collaborative project. Group members support one another, explore new working methods, and engage in critical dialogue. Artists in all media as well as writers, engineers, art critics, and curators are encouraged to apply; however, if the proposal includes use of glassmaking equipment, some members must have previous experience with Pilchuck’s facilities. Limited technical assistance is available. Open studio space and access to the Cold Shop, Mold & Kiln Shop, Print Shop, and Wood & Metals Shop are provided. Hot glassworking is not available during this time. Hauberg Fellows are provided living accommodations, meals, and limited supplies. Reimbursement for travel costs and honoraria are not provided.

YOUTH PROGRAMS Now in its third year, Pilchuck Glass School is proud to build upon its successful Youth Programs. In early spring and late fall, Pilchuck partners with area youth organizations and services to provide overnight and weekend retreats. Pilchuck currently partners with Hilltop Artists, Tacoma, to offer two immersive weekend retreats for high school-aged glass artists each year; complete with an array of skillbuilding workshops taught by professional artists. Additionally, Pilchuck is expanding its relationship with organizations and schools for indigenous youth. Through an annual overnight retreat, youth learn various glass artmaking techniques taught by professional artists who are affiliated with local Pacific Northwest Coastal Tribes.
