45TH ANNUAL AUCTION & GALA

WELCOME TO PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL'S AUCTION GALA AND CELEBRATION OF GLASS

PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL

Pilchuck Glass School fosters and educates a diverse 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 the one- 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

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Pilchuck staff, Trustees, and community of artists, welcome to our 45th annual auction, Pilchuck: Energy of the Elements

Pilchuck Glass School, situated amongst a 15,000-acre tree farm in the Cascade Mountains, is a confluence of elements: water coming down from the mountain and out to the Salish sea; the woods of the Pilchuck Tree Farm; and the glass itself—a material millennia old that is a result of both earth and fire. All of these elements come together to create a truly unique and transformative experience that has paved the way for the studio glass movement.

The energy at Pilchuck is dynamic. From our humble beginnings under a tent on a tree farm to the premier glass art school it is today, Pilchuck is a refuge for artists to find like-minded individuals. It’s a safe place to be their authentic selves. It’s a gathering place for artists from around the world to learn from each other, and to have new conversations about glass.

Just as our community of artists are constantly exploring new approaches to working with glass, Pilchuck as an organization is constantly looking for new ways to break down barriers to accessing our transformative programming—such as providing financial assistance, removing application fees for the fourth year in a row, and improving ADA accessibility on campus. And as we face the realities of a warming planet, Pilchuck is more committed than ever to creating space for conversations around improving sustainability in glass making, not only for the environment but for the sustainability of the craft itself.

As you journey through this unforgettable evening, you are helping us ensure the future of the school and the glass movement at large. When you purchase a work of art or when you raise your paddle to Fund the Future, you are directly supporting artists and making sure that Pilchuck Glass School will be here for generations to come.

Whether you are an old friend of Pilchuck or new, we cannot thank you enough for your support. The generosity of our friends, donors, sponsors, and community is paramount to making sure the school and its artists thrive. As our biggest fundraiser of the year, we appreciate you joining us and helping us make this evening a tremendous success!

We are eternally grateful for the honor of serving Pilchuck Glass School and, once again, we welcome you to Pilchuck: Energy of the Elements!

Alix Cannon grew up in Evergreen, Colorado. In 2003, she moved to New York City where she began blowing glass at UrbanGlass in Brooklyn. In 2006, she relocated to Seattle in order to further her education and skills as a glass artist. Over the years, she has learned and explored many different techniques and processes in glassblowing, but has mostly come to focus on intricate cane and murrine in her own work. Cannon continues to work in and around the Seattle area, both independently as well as for other notable artists, including Nancy Callan.

2018, Signed Free-hand sculpted glass, steel

Born in 1982, Raven Skyriver (Tlingit) was raised in the San Juan Islands. When he was sixteen, Raven was introduced to glass by his family friend and mentor, Lark Dalton. Exploring every opportunity to work in glass led to Raven being invited to work with Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen for the William Morris team in 2003. This was his introduction to sculptural glass, and where building a vocabulary for narrative in his work began. In 2018, Raven returned to the island where he was born, and built a home studio where he creates art with his wife Kelly O’Dell.

His work explores our environment, global warming, and abuses of our natural world. Klein’s work is in the permanent collections of museums in the US, Europe, Asia, and Middle East.

Zesty Myers and Evan Snyderman (R & Company, New York) now exclusively represent Marquis’ work and will be stewards of his legacy going forward. Marquis will have an exhibition at R & Company in the fall.

Lino Tagliapietra was born in 1934 in Murano, Italy, and became an apprentice glassblower at age 11.

In 1979, Lino visited Seattle for the first time and introduced students at Pilchuck Glass School to the traditions of Venetian glassblowing. This cross-cultural collaboration helped shape the identity of American glassblowing and offered Lino an opportunity to expand his horizons internationally. Now in his 80s, with over 70 years of experience, the Maestro splits his time between Murano and Seattle. He continues to exercise his prodigious technical skill and creative experimentation, producing works that both inspire and amaze.

“Morii” is defined as the desire to capture a fleeting moment or experience. This piece, Morii: Ascension, is spurred by the desire for fleeting moments of whimsy. Dreager began her kiln-formed glass journey in late 2019, exploring a wide range of techniques. She took a beginner’s class in pâte de verre and felt an instant connection. “I take cues from the clay as I sculpt, the powders and frits in my test pieces, and the fused form as it guides me through coldworking. It’s a balance of expressing my voice and respecting how the glass interprets my voice.”

Custom-built and designed by MacPherson Construction & Design. The home features an exquisite kitchen. The design team collaborated with the owners to make their every wish come true in this home. The kitchen featured a quartz island that was completely underlit making for a dramatic centerpiece, along with the custom crystal lighting.

Gifts received prior to 8/31/2023

I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE GIFT OF TIME, STUDIOS, HOUSING AND MEALS, MATERIALS, EXPERTISE, DEDICATED AND CARING STAFF IN A WONDERFULLY SUPPORTIVE, GENEROUS COMMUNITY OF TEACHERS AND LEARNERS I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE AT PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL. IT PROVES TO BE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING.

ANDREA DEZSO Amherst, Massachussets, USA

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

BOROSILICATE A ty pe of glass containing boron oxide that is highly resistant to thermal shocks. Commonly used in flameworking.

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 te chnique 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.

LAMPWORKING Se e 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.

MOLDBLOWN Glass formed into a shape by being blown

into a mold, typically made of wood, metal, or plaster.

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.

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
