Alchemy Symphony is an apt metaphor to describe the processes used by glass artist Michael Taylor to transform a sand-based material into a harmonic, translucent, and intricately structured work of art.
Taylor is one of America’s premier studio glass artists. He has been affiliated with Rochester Institute of Technology’s outstanding School for American Crafts for a number of years, where he was formerly a professor and head of the Glass Department. His work has been exhibited internationally and is found in many public and private collections, including the White House, the High Museum in Atlanta, and the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery.

Since the 1960s, Chihuly has been producing innovative forms in glass, and expanding the scale of his work to include entire glass installations. His work incorporates a lifelong pursuit of organic and asymmetrical forms such as the Basket series, inspired by the Northwest Coast Indian baskets. Chihuly's influence on the world of American craft is enduring. Founder of the glass department at the Rhode Island School of Design as well as the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state, he represents the best and most creative glassmaking of our time.

A river, the traditional symbol of the voyage between life and death, wends its way to the mountains in this beautiful window. Sunset Scene was one of a number of windows created by Tiffany Studios for Mount Hope Cemetery. It was commissioned by Thomas B. Dunn, a business and community leader who, after making his fortune from the licorice-flavored mouth freshener, Sen Sen, served as State Treasurer and Congressman.
Such an elegant memorial window, installed in a diminutive classical temple, speaks to the high social and economic standing of the deceased. For its long-term protection, the window was removed from its original cemetery location near the corner of Fifth Avenue and Grove Avenue and donated by the Dunn family to the Memorial Art Gallery.

Since the 1960s, Dale Chihuly has been producing innovative forms in glass, teaching, and expanding the scale and scope of his work to include entire glass installations. He began the Seaforms series in the 1980s and continued through the 1990s, inspired by the movement and color of underwater creatures. Chihuly’s Seaforms delight the eye and mystify the brain with their simultaneous delicacy and power. The ribbed pieces shimmer and almost seem to move in the light.
Chihuly’s influence on the world of American craft has been remarkable and enduring. Founder of the glass department at the Rhode Island School of Design as well as the Pilchuck School of Glass in Washington State, he represents the best and most creative glassmaking of our time.

Like all of Preston Singletary’s work, Tlingit Magic Hat fuses the traditional designs of his Native Northwest culture with the modern materials and techniques of contemporary art glass. Transformation themes, shamanism, and basketry patterns are among his inspirations. Singletary based this work on a centuries-old Tlingit design (see photo below), yet here the enhanced crown represents the fin of a killer whale.
Singletary started blowing glass directly out of high school and developed his style and approach through practical experience and by working with area artists, both Native and non-Native. Currently a member of the Board of Trustees at the Pilchuck Glass School, his work is included in museum collections throughout the world.
