We have worked with the internationally renowned Pilchuck Glass School for almost a decade, so were delighted to help them herald their 50th anniversary. We designed celebratory branding—inspired by blown glass forms—and a year-long installation at SeaTac airport. An 80-foot-long graphic features a timeline of Northwest glass art and artists, accompanied by displays of striking works in glass. Washington state alone is home to over 100 glass art studios, and boasts more than 700 glass artists, and Pilchuck hosts the world’s largest glass art auction each year.
