Scope: Creation and installation of a custom wall mounted art piece for the Sequim City Council Chambers. The work entails a pair of metal armature branches affixed with purple glass plates.
Dimensions: Each branch will be 12' in length and 4' at the tallest sections. The depth from the wall will be less than 4" where the projection screen hangs. The furthest depth in the installation will be 8". Mounting hardware will be provided on the metal armature based on the wall structure. The glass pieces will measure 11-13" in diameter. The metal armature will be created from%" steel and patinaed. Weight of each branch with the glass estimated at 60 pounds. Total artwork weight of 120 pounds.
Budget: Glass Artwork Twenty 12" Plates $7,530 Metal Armature Two 9' multi-strand steel branches $5,000 Installation Transportation and Onsite installation $1,000 Total $13,530 (not including sales tax, if applicable)
Installation Requirements: The armature will need to be securely .anchored. Our Studio can construct the armature to have the mounting brackets at spacing specific to the room's wall structure (stud locations, or other support).
Maintenance: The work will need light dusting periodically, recommended twice per year. The glass plates should be gently dusted with a dry cloth. If needed, glass cleaner on the forward-facing surfaces to remove spots. The metal armature can be dry dusted as needed.

City of Sequim Arts Advisory Commission;
Esteemed Comm iss ion Members;
The Seattle Glassblowing Studio is pleased to submit our proposal to create a memorable and iconic art installation with the City of Sequim for the Council Chambers. We've created a design that we believe expands on the unique brand identity of Sequ im, compliments the city sea l, and fills the wide space behind the dais with visually strong artwork.
Our Studio team is led by Artistic Director and Found ing Artist Cliff Goodman, Designer Bob Rigg, and Lead Glassblower Brandon Cupp. This team has over 80 years of combined experience in glass art, des ign and installations. We've worked with a wide variety of clients for public entities, corporations, and private individuals.
Our concept is two styli zed butches of lavender, one on either side of the city seal. Each "bunch" will consist of three metal stems with ten glass wa ll plates. We envision a riot of purple glass with warmly patinaed metal that ties to the purple and brown used in the city seal. The artwork wil l create a strong impression yet gentle impact, filling the back wall.
We previously worked on a project installed at the Civic Center through the Olympic View Foundation. We were inspired by the community we found in Sequim as we ll as the beautiful downtown and surrounding landscape. Our des ign for the Council Chambers is based on our visits. We specifical ly chose a design that lends consistency of style with the lobby piece whi le
Teamwork, collaboration, and communication is integral to our work. We would further develop our concept with the cl ient team as needed to reflect the vision and community needs of the City of Sequim.
Our work samples are submitted as jpegs file types on a CD .
Sincerely,
Cliff Goodman

Inspired by nature, his work is characterized by a wide range of organic forms which are met with a balance of precision and chance. Goodman strives for innovation through experimentation. In 1991, Goodman founded the Seattle Glassblowing Studio, a place dedicated to fostering creativity in glass.
Teamwork is a vita l aspect of glassblowing and the co llaborative experience of making glass is a part of every piece we produce. Every project we take on is a new creation, and we approach the design as an opportunity to engage and inspire the people moving through the space. We strive to create pieces that exceed expectation and meets project goals.
