2. 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.

4. “ 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 color—
that was the driving
force.”

“ 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.”
