Pilchuck: Molten Magic
48th Annual Auction & Gala
10.17.26
Welcome to Pilchuck Glass School’s Auction, Gala and Celebration of Glass
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 50 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 Guest Artists 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 workshops 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 48th Annual Auction Pilchuck: Molten Magic.
JAYNE RAMIREZ SPECTOR Auction Co-Chair
Pilchuck Glass School was co-founded in 1971 by Dale Chihuly, Anne Gould Hauberg, and John H. Hauberg. That first summer was built upon a dream that Chihuly had for a school in the Pacific Northwest where artists would teach other artists. During that initial summer, Chihuly and 18 students built furnaces, blew glass, and learned from one another through experimentation and collaboration. What has followed each summer after that has carried that spirit of artists coming together to teach one another, share techniques, push the material of glass in new and innovative ways and build an international community of artists who learn from one another. The Pilchuck experience has often been described as magical. It is unique, immersive and perhaps a bit intense. Coming to Pilchuck means an artist is pushing themselves, learning a new technique or using the material of glass for the first time. Through every challenge they face, artists make creative breakthroughs and often new friends for life. This year’s auction theme touches on that magic—both the magic of Pilchuck and of glass in its molten state. For 55 years, our campus and studios have provided the space for students to explore the endless possibilities of glass—from glassblowing, flameworking, casting, coldworking, neon, fusing, vitreography and more. We are thrilled you are joining us for this unforgettable evening. Tonight, you can help us ensure the future of Pilchuck, the contemporary glass movement, and opportunities for future generations of artists to attend Pilchuck. When you purchase a work of art or when you raise your paddle to Fund the Future, you are directly supporting artists and ensuring that Pilchuck Glass School will be here for generations to come. And don’t forget to stay for our After Party where you can smash glass, which also helps support our summer program and our sustainability efforts on campus!
KATRINA RUSSELL Auction Co-Chair
DONNA DAVIES Executive Director

The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid that is merely a fractional advance over the previous bid.

In the event of a dispute over a silent auction bid, oral bids may be taken at the discretion of the auctioneer— but only from those who have already placed bids. The auctioneer will determine the winning bid and the decision will be final. Silent auction items will have the option to “Buy It Now.” A Buy-It-Now bid, located at the bottom of the bid sheet, wins the item outright.

Glossary of terms BITS Pieces of molten glass snipped off a blowpipe or punty and applied hot to a glass form. BOROSILICATE A type 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.
INCISO A technique for patterning the surface of glass by creating deep incisions, usually with handengraving tools.
SANDBLAST To blow or blast sand onto a piece, etching away layers of glass. Masking is used to create patterns.
KILN A high-temperature electric oven used for casting, fusing and slumping glass.
SANDCAST To ladle hot glass into a formed mold made of specialized sand.
KILN-CAST The use of a mold, usually plaster, filled with crushed glass, which is melted in a kiln to produce a solid glass form.
SCAVO Corrosive chemical material applied to the surface of hot glass that gives the final piece a matte finish.
LAMINATE To use heat or glue to join pieces of glass.
SGRAFFITO The technique of adding color to the surface of glass and then scratching it away, causing a reverse image to appear.
LAMPWORKING See flameworking. LOST WAX A method of casting whereby a wax or wax-coated 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.
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.
OFF-HAND Formed freehand on the end of a punty or blowpipe. No mold is used.
WRAP A strand of glass, typically but not always of a contrasting color, applied hot to a vessel.
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.
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.
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.
