Eleven artists. One planet. A shared field of vision. Ocean Eleven is inspired in part by astronaut Christina Koch’s view of Earth from space—and her powerful reminder: “Planet Earth, you are a crew.” Happening on the opening day of Refract: The Seattle Glass Experience, I’m bringing together eleven artists pushing the boundaries of the studio glass movement—working with luminous color, glass, light, and the forces shaping our natural world. October 15 @ Noon RSVP is a must. RSVP: https://bit.ly/Oceaneleven #refractseattle #ecofeminsm #revealedby light

Happening October 15 I am presenting Ocean Eleven during Refract | The Seattle Glass Experience. Featuring eleven artists pushing the boundaries of the studio glass movement, working with luminous color, glass, and light to create sculptures that explore the resilience of the ocean, the beauty of the Earth, and the majestic forces of our natural world. It is a FREE event! Must RSVP Link in bio & https://refractseattle.org/ Ocean Eleven is inspired, in part, by astronaut Christina Koch’s powerful message from Artemis II. Reflecting on Earth from a lunar vantage point—”Planet Earth, you are a crew”—this project investigates what it means to move forward with shared responsibility for the planet. You will meet artists who extend the role of the artist—acting as record keepers, tracing environmental change, and as peacemakers, holding space for reflection across the visible and unseen forces shaping our environment. 📸 Rik Allen, Kait Rhoads, April Surgent, Julie Conway, Steve Klein, Jenny Pohlman/Sabrina Knowles

Out of The Archives 📸      Since the very beginning, Pilchuck has been shaped by the many remarkable women that have worked, taught and created here. While often underrepresented and unacknowledged in the glass industry, women have made innumerable and essential contributions to glass and Pilchuck throughout history. From the trail-blazing Ruth Tamura who co-taught the first summer of Pilchuck workshops, to other artists instrumental to the American studio glass movement like Toots Zynsky, Ginny Ruffner and Sonja Blomdahl, women have and continue to make Pilchuck the magical and inspiring place it is.        Please enjoy these archival photos celebrating just a few of the many influential women that have made history here at Pilchuck.

Glass artists Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman have collaborated for over 30 years, creating sculptural works in glass and steel inspired by their six immersive research journeys to developing nations. Drawing from spiritual traditions, political histories, architecture, and personal narratives they encountered abroad, they transform these experiences into artworks exploring healing, empowerment, compassion, and the resilience of the human spirit. Their partnership has earned significant recognition, including major residencies at Pilchuck Glass School and the Museum of Glass, a Saxe Fellowship, and inclusion in museum collections nationwide. Through their collaborative practice, they aim to create art that speaks to our shared humanity.
