Trusting the Unknown
Art can teach us that an image is a transformative gift, that walls and doorways are the same thing, that what we think is only a fraction of what we know, and that the more deeply engaged we become, the greater the resonance – and the mystery – of our work. Using simple kiln-glass processes, as well as paint, clay, fiber, and the natural beauty of Pilchuck, you’ll develop – and learn to trust – your unique creative process and experience your ever-renewing internal source.
