Team Chihuly

by Dale Chihuly

Artist Dale Chihuly has developed many techniques over the past thirty years, including the fundamentals of a team. At the helm of the studio glass movement, he was instrumental in bringing glass out of the factories and into a more experimental environment. Teamwork has become a process integral in the world of glassmaking. As the function and development of Chihuly's work evolved into larger-scale series as well as installations, it became apparent that the roles and structure of the group would now transform into a teamed effort to create a vision led by the master. On average, a unique work by artist Dale Chihuly demands the participation of up to twelve people. The relationship between these artisans is a masterpiece in itself. Team Chihuly is laid out in a chronological order to give the reader a sense of the glass movement for themselves.

Amazing old pictures from the early Pilchuck days. You can see my foot and my head in a few pictures in the back.
