The Art of Blowing Glass
Glass blowing is an art form that only a few people can master – because here, too, the technical revolution has almost supplanted the talented artists. Luckily, there are museums like Chihuly Garden and Glass that preserve the art of glassblowing and pass it on to future generations.
The museum is located in the Seattle Center and opened in 2012. It exhibits the work of glass artist Dale Chihuly. Expect to see a stunning display of Chihuly’s unique and colorful glass sculptures, which are known for their organic forms and dramatic use of light.
The gallery features various exhibitions, including “The Glasshouse”, a 40 foot tall glass and steel structure that houses one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures.
Another exhibition is “The Emerald Star and Sea Wall”, which showcases a series of blown glass forms in shades of green and blue.
The museum is not just about showing the work of renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Furthermore, it also offers a variety of educational programs, including glassblowing demonstrations, artist talks, as well as special exhibitions.
