Heart of Glass

IMG_5443

Pilchuck Glass School is located in a remote area outside of Seattle and hidden behind hundreds of trees on a mountainside. This secluded artist-in-residence programme is unique: gathering glass artists and other creatives such as fashion designers, musicians, or graphic designers, in order to let them collaborate and push the boundaries of glass. During the summer programme, residents have the possibilities to experiment in different ways. The “hot shop” (pictured above) is an intensive collaborative facility where glass is heated, melted, shaped and assembled to deliver unexpected results.

MIX_36SE5

Other facilities include a “cold shop” where glass objects are blasted and perfected in running water, a plaster studio with casting kilns and a rare vitreography print shop where glass plates are engraved to produce unique monotypes and prints on paper.

MIX_36SE4

Results from the “Monsters and Aliens” workshop (pictured above) are concrete examples of collaborative projects happening between experienced and emerging artists. Glass is a very technical craft that requires years of experience to master and can easily fulfill a lifetime of learning.

The Pilchuck Glass School

Ruth King, Artistic Director, Pilchuck Glass School talks with Cities x Design about the role of design, craftsmanship, and artistic expression involved in contemporary glass art.

Santa Fe, NM

img_4364Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a place defined by art, craft and architecture and where the boundaries between creative practices are blurred. The city attracts tourists and creatives from around the United States and the world.

Many details in Santa Fe, from signs to storefront and menus (pictured above) are a reflection of the city’s interest in the past and things that are handmade.

American Indian art is an underlying theme and a strong creative influence in Santa Fe. The Institute of American Indian Art is a one-of-a-kind museum and college of fine arts dedicated to the study of indigenous cultures and art.

New Mexico Creates at the recently opened New Mexico History Museum is a different kind of museum store that sells handcrafted jewelry, Native American art work, Hispanic crafts, art glass, and textiles all created by New Mexico artists and artisans. One of their approaches is to showcase products that integrate contemporary design in traditional craftsmaking techniques.

Further from the city center, Railyard Santa Fe is a neighborhood that is being regenerated. It represents the possibility of a more contemporary Santa Fe.

We want to enable them to design their future so they feel invested in it. This is a problem throughout our country and we hope we can make a difference and provide a model for other communities to explore with their youth.” –Mark Bethel
