On the other hand, the fact that they are front-runners in receiving repeated grants is limiting to the NEA’s purpose. The last of their grant application forms I saw asked no ques­ tions concerning how the grant funds were to be used. I suggest that it is up to us and our art organizations to encourage an approach in NEA procedures which seeks out new talent, much of which can be found out­ side the environs of a university. Like CM, the NEA is a tastemaker—both a blessing and a danger. As a teacher, I consider it professionally responsible to aid my most talented stu­ dents in obtaining grants rather than seeking more recognition myself. Perhaps a difference exists between the seeker after fame and the person who has the grace to let it happen—a dilemma. Rick Sherman San Jose, Calif. Mary Rich I was delighted to find an article on Mary Rich of Penwerris Pottery, in the October issue, [having] purchased some of her miniatures in 1976. [However] many other articles have been in greater depth and surely this one could have been. Having lived in England for a year, and from what I have seen, there is a larger percentage of working potters who seem to be living on their craft in Britain than in our country. Larry Jelf Ingram, Texas Toshiko’s Kiln In the November issue Toshiko Takae- zu’s kiln is supposed to be 270 cubic feet. This can only be true if the accompanying photos were of someone else’s kiln. The photos indicate a 131-cubic-foot glaze chamber size. Picky, picky, picky but there are rookies laying in the weeds. Nice design ideas by Dick Hay, but.... Richard Csavoy Waukesha, Wis. We reach the same conclusion (assum­ ing a brick size of 9x4 1/.2x2/2 inches). The glaze chamber floor as Shown is 4/2 feet square, the interior height is approximately 5 4/5 feet plus a door entry of 131/± cubic feet. We apologize for this error.—Ed.

The collection of 225 works includes Northwestern and international studio art glass along with important paintings and sculptures by renowned regional artists. The gift, announced on Mrs. Benaroya’s 93rd birthday, includes a contribution for the construction of a new 7,390 square-foot gallery addition in which to present the collection, an endowment fund for its care, and funds for a dedicated curator. The contribution to support the gift totals nearly $14 million. TAM’s expanding collection further establishes the Pacific Northwest as the nation’s art glass epicenter. The new wing will be designed by award-winning architect Tom Kundig of Seattle-based Olson Kundig and is projected to open in fall 2018. It will house 5,700 square feet of gallery space, in addition to 1,690 square feet for public facilities and support functions. Tom Kundig successfully completed TAM’s Haub Family Galleries in November 2014.

    Print Article http://174.143.136.17/ME2/Segments/Publications/Print.asp?Module=Publica... Issue Date: June 2006, Posted On: 4/21/2006 Arts Focus: Filling Glass with Meaning Lee Lawrence In "Self-Portrait," Michael Janis separates a face from the world with glass that contains writing. It's a typical day at the Washington Glass School in Washington, D.C. WGS founder Tim Tate leans into an open kiln and presses a plastic locust into a narrow strip of plaster powder, making a clean indentation. This will act as a mold into which he will later melt plate glass, creating a cast so finely detailed that the pattern on the locust's wings will show. Nearby, co-director Michael Janis sits at a worktable, sprinkling crushed glass onto a clear surface, using it to paint a silhouette in graffito that will become one layer in a castglass work. Across the room, the third WGS partner, Erwin Timmers, crouches near a sculpture in progress, puzzling out the details of combining neon with salvaged metal and recycled glass. This is a far cry from glory holes and other icons of the glass studio movement. Yet it is typical of what is happening across the country as more and more artists use glass to express an expanding range of content, often by combining techniques and materials. Martha Drexler Lynn, author of American Studio Glass 1960-1990 and, more recently, Sculpture, Glass and American Museums, notes that "Artists are not just doing straight glass. They're using glass as an expressive component in a larger whole, and that's great because at that point glass becomes just one more material in the arsenal." This may sound like a demotion to some, but it is really a leap forward for glass.

They are both remembered fondly by artists for challenging them creatively often asking, “can you Welcome to this year’s edition of our International Glass Invitational. It is as always a make this in a scale never before attempted?” Between 1999 and 2009, they created the blend of the most noted artists that work in the glass medium, artists that reflect current definitive collection of the decade. Shirley’s humor, intelligence and intense interest in trends and emergent artists whom we want to expose based upon their innovative learning with openness that flexibility to new ideas, were the perfect combinations in approach to the material. We have always encouraged artists to offer their latest ideas translated into glass. In this way we have launched not only careers but significant bodies developing this incredibly important collection. of work. For example we offered the first public display of Dale Chihuly Venetian series Her wit, laugh and amazing spirit will be missed by everyone associated with studio glass. in 1989, at the 27th Annual Exhibit. Not all of these artists will be internationally recognized, as witnessed by some artists - Ferdinand and Kathy Hampson in previous International catalogues that have not achieved the accolades of many of the and the staff of Habatat Galleries documented artists that continue to be represented each year.

  • Dale Chihuly | Chronology
    Dale Chihuly | Chronology 1941 Born September 20 in Tacoma, Washington, to George Chihuly, a butcher and union organizer, and Viola Magnuson Chihuly, a homemaker and avid gardener. His father is predominantly of Hungarian, Czech, and Slavic ancestry; his mother, Swedish and Norwegian. 1957 Older brother and only sibling, George, dies in a navy flight-training accident in Pensacola, Florida. 1958 His father suffers a fatal heart attack at age fifty-one, and his mother has to go to work. 1959 Graduates from high school in Tacoma. His mother persuades him to enroll at College of Puget Sound (now University of Puget Sound) in his hometown. 1960 An interest in art (including a term paper on Van Gogh) and his remodeling of his mother’s recreation room motivate him to transfer to University of Washington in Seattle, where he studies interior design and architecture. 1961 Joins Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and becomes rush chairman. Learns to melt and fuse glass. 1962 Disallusioned with his studies, he leaves school and travels to Florence to focus on art. Frustrated by his inability to speak Italian, he moves on to the Middle East. 1963 Works on a kibbutz in Negev desert, Israel. Meets architect Robert Landsman in Jericho, Jordan, and they visit the site of ancient Petra. Reinspired, returns to University of Washington and studies interior design under Hope Foote and Warren Hill.
