Glassblowing as a fine art form experienced a renaissance in the closing decades of the 20th century, and Seattle was an epicenter of that movement.

Dale Chihuly was one of the modern-day pioneers in the field (see below), and the Pilchuck School of Glass he co-founded in 1971 continues to be a major influence today. There are numerous working glass schools, artists, organizations, and galleries throughout the Puget Sound. Local museums frequently feature works by glass artists (image at right from SAM's Transformed By Fire 2005 exhibit). Below are links to Seattle glass resources.
