Nice feature @hyperallergic Thank you! Reposted @hyperallergic Seattle’s glass art festival returns in 2026 with a celebration of the people and places shaping our vibrant glass community. Now in its eighth year, the festival lands during a milestone moment: Seattle Glassblowing Studio marks 35 years, Pratt Fine Arts Center celebrates 50 years of creative education, and Chihuly Studio commemorates a meaningful return to Venice after three decades. These anniversaries highlight the legacy, innovation, and global impact of Seattle’s glass scene. This year’s theme, “A Year of Celebration,” brings fresh energy to the programming. Expect art parties, live demos, special exhibits, and open studios that pull you directly into the action. From hot shop heat to behind-the-scenes access, the festival offers immersive ways to connect with artists and explore the craft. Learn more about this year’s line up at RefractSeattle.org! . . . #SeattleRefract #Sponsored

Check out my podcast conversation with Bri Chesler NOW on Talking Out Your Glass podcast! Subscribe or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts…wherever you stream! talkingoutyourglass.com/bri-chesler/ Drawing from the wild and erotic character of the natural environment, Bri Chesler’s work reflects on cultural obsessions of beauty and their relationships to internal anatomies. By fusing similar elements found in biology and botany she creates forms that flirt with the audience, exploring ideas of intimacy and desire. Known for its nontraditional approach, her work combines a variety of glass techniques with other media. Video Courtesy @corningmuseum We’re still not over this incredible sculpture @brichesler made during her Guest Artist residency here at the Museum! 🌊✨🦑🪸 What was your favorite part?

I'm editing this video at the #seatacairport which is very fitting as @tommy.g.human is the Manager and Curator for the Port of Seattle /SEA Airport on top of being an accomplished artist. Tommy Gregory spoke at the 1st Annual Design Conference at @pilchuckglassschool and if you have a few minutes then buckle up for an emotional roller coaster because Tommy is a real one. @portofseattle #glassart #seatac #glass #portofseattle

Wearable sculpture has been something I've wanted to explore for years. It's a way to bring my internal experiences into the physical world. I'm still spinning from @laura44donefer Glass Fashion Show last week. I pushed myself to make work differently, that flexes with the body, protective, and sharp at the same time. And most importantly to be able to call Laura my mentor and very good friend. LAURA YOU'RE ICONIC! I love you to pieces!! Everyone absolutely slayed! 🔥🔥🔥 Did you see it??! If not, stay tuned for a behind the scenes documentary to be released in the next year.

Bittersweet: that's the word I would use to describe this life. Hard work yields big rewards. The last couple of years have been distilled into this 90 second clip. Tear it down. Build it up. Laugh. Cry. Destroy. Create. And of course, 90 seconds isn't enough to sum up everything. Yesterday marks 5 years since I said goodbye to Jesse's physical presence. But our dreams are still here.. still growing. I could not live this dream without the support from my little cooperative, presently and over the years past. There's not enough words to truly express my deep appreciation. This life made possible by: @brichesler for being my emotional support human and best friend through thick and thin. We've seen some shit together. @yeahsharvin for his incredible work ethic, immense skill set and dedication to the dream. @tanner_weiss_glass for showing up during the hard times and still remembering and honoring this history. @velvet_nugget_studios & @taylorames2please thank you for being a part of our little compound in its humble beginnings and being a part of this journey Here's to Top Hat Glassworks!! New furnace is hot!! If you'd like to follow what we're up to in the studio, check out our new account @tophatglassworks

for those of you that don’t know (though at this point I’ve probably called about 50% of you for a quote lol), I’ve been writing for @glassquarterly magazine for about 1.5 years. I started glassblowing twelve years ago and recently studied journalism and publishing at university. I’ve always felt split between the two: glass and writing. for a long time, it felt like I had to choose one and abandon the other in order to succeed, but I couldn’t—I’m too stubborn. and then I found the magazine. writing for glass magazine has made me more confident as a reporter and writer, while also bringing me closer to a community that I love and respect so dearly. in marrying my two passions, I’ve been able to be a bridge, for more than just myself. I am always so immensely grateful when people trust me with their stories, their time, and their art. hearing your stories and then getting to transform and share them with the community, and those interested or invested in this community, is an honor and a joy. not to mention that representing some of the amazing things happening in this region on a global platform is such a privilege. and thank you specifically to @jasonmcdonald42 @instantglassic @brichesler @danfriday for trusting me to spotlight your inspiring work. I love art. I love writing. I love glass. I love this community. I love the pacific northwest. and I love print media! while I promise this wasn’t meant to be a sales pitch, I would be remiss if I didn’t say to please consider purchasing a subscription (we also have a digital subscription! though ofc I’m biased and think physical copies are so much better—keep print media alive!) if you are able and interested in what is happening in the glass world. you can also buy some past issues if you want to read any of my articles shared here. and if you have any questions about the magazine or my work, etc, feel free to shoot me a message :) so grateful to @glassquarterly for this opportunity, and for those of you that read it! okay, now I have to get back to writing. ❤️❤️❤️
