The mission of Pilchuck’s Outreach department is to promote knowledge about and increase access to glass as a creative and collaborative art practice. Through partnership programs and events held on and off campus our goal is to engage and collaborate with regional and global organizations to creating glass-focused opportunities for individuals and communities who otherwise would not have access to glass.
The Indigenous Student Retreat is a program started in 2018 and was created to provide opportunities for regional tribal communities and beyond to learn about glass and experience the Pilchuck campus.
During this 3 day and two-night event a group of 24 Indigenous students from the area gather on campus to participate in glass blowing, bead making, wood carving, and weaving workshops.

Pilchuck is a proud partner with Hilltop Artists, a program that empowers young people from different economic and cultural backgrounds by providing tuition-free art education, mentorship, and collaboration in the medium of glass.
Pilchuck hosts a group of Hilltop students for a retreat. This provides students with an opportunity to learn new skills and techniques through a series of workshops led by professional artists and Hilltop alumni.
