Born in 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, Dale Chihuly
was introduced to glass while studying interior
design at the University of Washington. Later on
he enrolled in the first glass program in the
country at the University of Wisconsin. In 1968,
Chihuly was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to
work at the Venini factory in Venice, Italy.
While in Venice, Chihuly observed the team
approach to blowing glass, which is critical to
the way he works today.

MACCHIAS
The Macchia series began with my waking up one
day wanting to use all 300 of the colors in the
hotshop. . Like much of my work, the series
inspired itself. The unbelievable combinations of
colorthat was the driving force.

SEA FORMS
I love to walk along the beach and go to the
ocean. And glass itself, of course, is so much
like water. If you let it go on its own, it
almost ends up looking like something that came
from the sea.

WALL EXHIBITIONS
Chihulys artwork is not only vibrant and full of
color, it also dynamic and ever changing. In many
cases it is designed specifically for the space
it will be exhibited in. His exhibits and the
artwork itself are a result of teamwork
collaboration.

Unplugged.This presentation was designed for a
Midwestern audience from 15 to 50 years of age.
The focus of the design was to present a broad
range of the artists work in an engaging but
subtle way. The design includes deep reach
colors, a neutral text font and an upbeat but
soothing melody all put together with the
intention of capturing the attention of both
young and older within an audience allocated in a
distinctive area of the country.
