Dale Patrick Chihuly’s Glass Dreamland

Controlling a Hot Drop,

Shaping the substance,

Creating a swan or a heron,

Glass blower to any creature

Life will breathe…

Larisa Pribrezhnaya

Do you believe in chance? The only one that falls from the hands of fate into your hands?

In 1977, the Washington State Historical Society hosted an exhibition of Indian baskets in the city of Tacoma (Washington, USA), which is known locally as the “City of Destiny”. Old, sometimes crumbling baskets of various shapes, not always symmetrical, with bold ornaments, woven by unknown craftsmen many years ago – it was they who attracted the attention of Dale Chihuly. Seeing them, he wanted to make the same baskets, only from glass. And this was the beginning of the collections that brought worldwide fame to glassblower, artist, designer, glass architect Dale Chihuly.

Biography of Dale Chihuly

Dale Patrick Chihuly was born in Tacoma in 1941. At a young age, he lost his brother and father. My mother was my inspiration, friend, and mentor. She supported him in all endeavors: when he took a year off to work in the agricultural community in Israel, and when he decided to become a designer, and later, when he went to work in fishing in Alaska to earn money for a master’s degree.

D. Chihuly graduated from the University of Washington, and two years later received a master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin. As a student, Dale was introduced to the textile business and, with youthful enthusiasm, was carried away by the idea of ​​weaving a canvas from the most unsuitable material for this – glass. This is how the first unusual planar series of objects resembling an interweaving of threads appears – the “Woven Blanket”.

The master’s works immediately attracted the attention of the unpredictability of endless forms. They were like a piece of music, which with each sound gives more and more pleasure. Glass works are plastic, colorful, it is impossible to take your eyes off them, just as it is impossible to understand how they are born.

Dale Chihuly says that glass is a solidified liquid, so he is interested in working with this material.

“You combine sand with fire and you get glass. Imagine sand turning into liquid! Then you glue the tube to liquid glass, collect it like honey, and take it out of the oven. This is where the magic begins: you give the glass any shape, even the most unthinkable. Over the millennia, glassblowers have learned to turn glass into more than just bottles and vases. And I was lucky enough to appear at the right time and in the right place to expand the understanding of glass, formed over 2,000 years. ”

In 1976, D. Chikhuli got into a head-on accident, lost sight in his left eye, and crippled his leg. Since then, a black band covers the eye, and a rigid corset supports the leg when walking. But the tests of fate did not end there. After a while, Dale knocks out his shoulder while surfing and can no longer lift his glass blowing snorkel on his own. Since 1979, Chihuly has been gathering a team around him. She became his hands, and he became her inspirer, generator of ideas, the God of glass, who with one movement turned an ordinary vessel into a work of art.

Dale Chihuly School

In 1971, Dale Chihuly, with patrons Ann Gould Howberg and John H. Howberg, opened the Pilchuck Glass School summer glassblowing workshop. Pilchuk is the name of the local river, translated from Indian means “red water”. A grant of $2,000 was received for the first season. Chikhuli and his students set up a tent city with showers, toilets, and an impromptu workshop.

The seminar was free of charge, the participants only provided themselves with food. The first summer inspired everyone, and despite the fact that the costs were more than the grant, the idea caught on. The Pilchuk school got sponsors, a board of trustees, a website, and programs. Over time, instead of tents, wooden campuses and a modern workshop were built, but the buildings are harmoniously woven into the natural environment.

The values ​​of the school were originally laid down and have not changed – to inspire, transform, create a community of creative people.

The Pilchuk school operates all year round, but is especially active from May to September. Every year it hosts one-, two- and three-week classes in glass technology. In 2021, the school celebrated its 50th anniversary and raised $2 million in donations that will help 500 students learn glasswork techniques each year. The doors of the school are open to those who wish, everyone can apply for training.

Courses are designed for three categories of students: beginners, intermediates, advanced. In groups of 10-12 people, they either get their first glassworking skills, or conduct research on glass production methods, experiment with color, shape. Students work with hot and cold glass, blow, sculpt, pour in sand and ovens, study fusing, neon, stained glass, work in mixed media, master engraving and sculpture. The courses are a community of glass-loving people who are open to experimentation, share the values ​​of the school, inspire and support each other, and expand their capabilities.

Disciples of Dale Chihuly

The school annually invites artists and glass designers to master classes to learn new practices, such as the production of Murano cane or Czech casting. Over the years, thanks to the summer courses, the world has received big names.

The school is located in an ideal place for creativity. The climate, rural landscapes, the spirit of generations are part of the Pilchuk community. Here people from different parts of the world meet, get acquainted, transform. Thanks to the freedom of creativity, ideas are born, techniques are developed.

Dale Chihuly believes that “artists teach artists”, and every person is a creator. Therefore, at any age, regardless of status, place of residence, people can start doing what they love. In one to three weeks, students at the Pilchuk School gain an experience that is unparalleled in terms of intensity, quality of teaching and concentration of artistic talent.

Art style

Dale Chihuly works in the style of Environmental art, where man, environment, art are combined into a single whole. Chihuly stood at the origins of this form of avant-garde movement. His works fit perfectly into the environment, involve the viewer in the artistic space.

The artist’s glass forms do not live separately from man, they merge with nature, dissolve in emotions, become part of life.

Dale Chihuly’s Garden

In 2012, the Chihuly Glass Garden opened in Seattle, and it’s worth visiting the city for that alone. All rooms are themed.

Dale Chihuly’s creative idea is that man can create things as beautiful as nature. It’s hard to believe, but we have glass flowers in front of us. Expressive, delicate, fragile crystal snowflakes, eye-catching.

Marine Life

Marine forms are one of the earliest forms that the artist began to work on. Intricate shells, sea urchins, translucent stars, leading a leisurely conversation under underwater vines, amaze the imagination with their brightness and unusualness. In today’s world of sharp dissonances, bitter, almost painful earthliness, the marine collection is plastic and calm. It seems that the master managed to blur the line between animate and inanimate nature. Fragile, delicate, graceful.

Once again, the marine theme, glass bouquets of unusual shapes, composed according to the rules of Japanese art. A riot of color, exquisite simplicity, perfect shapes.

Chandeliers

Chihuly chandeliers are not lighting devices, they are exquisite decorations of sophisticated design, unimaginable color shades and dazzling beauty. Once, while traveling around America, we stopped in Las Vegas and stayed at the Bellagio complex. When they raised their heads up, they forgot why they had come, because there was no strength to take their eyes off the glass ceiling: pink, lilac, lilac, golden flowers covered the entire ceiling, shimmering with iridescent color.

Dale Chihuly has always deftly experimented with glass, giving it forms that are both delicate and active. The master himself admitted that he was working “on the verge of movement and collapse, when one wrong step, and the thing shatters into small pieces.” The ceilings above the canals of Venice are gorgeous.

The Chikhuli Garden of Glass exposition is changing, but there are still rooms:

• Persian ceiling
• Drawing wall
• Les Macchia

One article does not show all the works of the master. But you can look at the author’s social networks, buy his books, however, in English.

One word can’t say who Dale Patrick Chihuly is. He is a glass blower, artist, entrepreneur, teacher, philanthropist, restless experimenter, thanks to whom we expand the boundaries of glass perception. Life, movement, lightness, grace are felt in his works. The glass universe inspires, calms, because it was created by a master who is in a state of harmony with himself and the world, which he transmits to all people.

The Russian Academy of Crafts has a glass blowing course.
But if you haven’t chosen your niche yet, take a closer look at the specialty of stained glass or master several techniques at once on the Lampwork course.

Try it, and who knows, maybe your works will decorate museum halls.
