Some images from this year’s Pilchuck x Berlin Glas. E.V. international exchange, sponsored by Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung!   As part of this new and exciting cultural exchange, during Session 1 this year, Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung sponsored Berlin-based artist Alan Horsley to visit Pilchuck and teach his kiln-forming and kiln-casting workshop, “Translating Form.”   This month, local artist Dan Friday was also sponsored by Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung to travel to Germany for a residency and to lead “Cane Making & Roll-Ups: Building Personal Language in Hot Glass” at Berlin Glass.   We are so grateful to Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung and Berlin Glass for making this exchange possible! This program is just one example of how Pilchuck continues to be an international campus and a place for cultural and creative exchange.    #pilchuckglassschool #alexandertutsekstiftung #berlinglass #glassart #internationalexchange by @danfriday

Glass Fest Visiting Artist Dan Friday is in the Hot Shop this week, August 5–9! Dan Friday is a member of the Lummi Nation and a Skagit Valley-based artist. Drawing from cultural themes and using modern processes, Friday's work is contemporary in format while maintaining basic Native American qualities. He has spent the past two decades working with artists such as Dale Chihuly, Paul Marioni, and Preston Singletary. In 2017, Dan started the Native Youth Outreach Program at Pilchuck Glass School. He has had residencies at Museum of Glass, the Burke Museum in Seattle, WA, the Corning Museum (NY), Penland Craft School (NC), Chrysler Museum (Norfolk, VA), Torunga Wai Wai Gisborne (New Zealand), Te Atinga Wai Kato (New Zealand), and the Dream Community in Tai Pei, Taiwan. Friday joins us in the Hot Shop as part of Glass Fest Northwest after winning Best In Show at the IN THE SPIRIT exhibition at @washingtonhistory last year. Thank you to our preferred hotel partner @marriotttacoma for providing Visiting Artist Residency accommodations. Learn more about Friday and Glass Fest Northwest at the 🔗 in our bio!

Paul I would not be doing what I am now without you stepping in at just the right moments of my life. When many people would have rightfully turned their backs on me you leaned in and have taught me how to be a better person. You know all this. I can almost hear your voice as I am Sad reminding me about the path of life in your philosophical way. Thank you for making it ok to be an angel and a scoundrel at the same time, love you Paul taken in OUTER SPACE by @danfriday
