Letter from the GAS President<br />

The <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Society</strong> is thrilled to hold its 41st annual <strong>conference</strong> in<br />

Seattle, Washington.<br />

Since last being in Seattle – eight years ago – the GAS <strong>conference</strong><br />

has seen a lot of movement. We have convened in seven cities on two<br />

continents, continuing to encourage excellence, to advance education, to<br />

promote the ap<strong>pre</strong>ciation and development of the glass arts, and to support<br />

the worldwide community of artists who work with glass.<br />

Every GAS <strong>conference</strong> is a chance to learn something new. Each <strong>conference</strong><br />

supplies contemporary topics that haven’t been <strong>pre</strong>viously addressed,<br />

provides innovative techniques that have never before been demonstrated,<br />

and introduces fresh faces to our community. This steady flow of new ideas<br />

and identities comes partly from the <strong>conference</strong> changing its location each<br />

year. With each location, GAS provides an international forum that highlights<br />

and explores the best of each city’s individual glass scene. It’s time to see<br />

what’s new in Seattle!<br />

Seattle is a city well known to all when it comes to hand-blown<br />

glass in the United States. It is a city that has provided a beginning and a<br />

home to many great glass artists, collections, organizations, studios, and<br />

galleries. It has long been a destination city for the entire spectrum of<br />

glass artists, collectors, and enthusiasts involved in our community. For this<br />

reason, it is fitting that our 2011 annual <strong>conference</strong> in Seattle be called<br />

Creative Crossroads.<br />

This <strong>conference</strong> is a chance to stop and catch up with friends, to<br />

witness Seattle and its progress. It is a place where we can come together<br />

as an international community to share our ideas and discover new ones.<br />

It is an opportunity to discuss the path that has delivered our medium to<br />

this moment and an occasion to discuss the best direction in which to carry<br />

us forward successfully.<br />

Please look through this <strong>brochure</strong> to see the incredible array of<br />

<strong>pre</strong>senters, demonstrators, panel discussions, tours, and special events<br />

planned for the <strong>conference</strong>. Imagine being able to attend the Pre-Conference<br />

Reception fundraiser at the Chihuly Boathouse, going to all the shows on the<br />

Gallery Hop, and getting to party at the Seattle <strong>Art</strong> Museum. Then, join us in<br />

Seattle in June to get inspired and be active in your community!<br />

2011<br />

It will be great to see you there!<br />

Jeremy Lepisto<br />

Letter from the Conference Co-Chairs<br />

Please join us in Seattle, a city that celebrates its native cultures and values the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and<br />

water; a place that respects history and embraces innovative thinking and has served time and again as a catalyst for companies –<br />

Microsoft, Boeing, and Amazon, to name a few.<br />

Seattle is honored to be the host city for the 2011 <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>conference</strong> – to serve as the Creative Crossroads for the<br />

world of glass. From the founding of the Pilchuck <strong>Glass</strong> School in 1971, to the opening of the Museum of <strong>Glass</strong> in Tacoma in 2002<br />

and the establishment of the first hot-glass degree program in the Pacific Northwest by the University of Washington in 2009, the<br />

region is recognized worldwide as a center of glass.<br />

The <strong>conference</strong> is packed with demonstrations, <strong>pre</strong>sentations, studio visits, and workshops. Both the <strong>pre</strong>- and post-<strong>conference</strong> days<br />

<strong>pre</strong>sent a chance to explore. Visit the city of Tacoma, home of the Museum of <strong>Glass</strong> and the Tacoma <strong>Art</strong> Museum; travel north to the<br />

Schack <strong>Art</strong> Center in Everett and the Pilchuck <strong>Glass</strong> School in Stanwood; and check out the many studios and galleries in Seattle.<br />

Pratt Fine <strong>Art</strong>s Center and the Seattle <strong>Glass</strong>blowing Studio, together with the mobile hot-shop unit of The Corning Museum of<br />

<strong>Glass</strong>, will host fascinating demonstrations by a powerhouse of exceptional artists.<br />

The Sheraton, our host hotel, is downtown, surrounded by museums, galleries, great shopping, and wonderful restaurants. The<br />

hotel is just across the street from the Convention Center, which will host <strong>pre</strong>sentations, the Tech Display, and the CMoG Hot <strong>Glass</strong><br />

Roadshow. Stroll over to Pike Place Market, one of the oldest operating public markets in the country. A short bus ride takes you to<br />

the Seattle <strong>Art</strong> Museum’s sculpture park, where you’ll find major contemporary works and breathtaking views of Puget Sound.<br />

We welcome you to Seattle and hope that you will not only find the <strong>conference</strong> stimulating and intriguing, but that you will have<br />

the chance to enjoy our home.<br />

special <strong>conference</strong> events<br />

Pre-Conference Reception – A Fundraiser<br />

Chihuly Boathouse, Wednesday, June 1, 6 - 9:30 pm<br />

Cost $175. Maximum attendance: 175 people.<br />

The attendees of the 2011 Pre-Conference Reception will get a special<br />

treat at the private boathouse of renown artist Dale Chihuly. Located<br />

on the shores of Lake Union, the Chihuly Boathouse has been<br />

described as “the most perfect of ‘Muranese factories’... while at the<br />

same time being the closest that one can come in Seattle to a Grand<br />

Canal palazzo.” An apt description, but it leaves out the lap pool with a<br />

recessed area for underwater glass art, the collection of Edward Curtis<br />

gravure prints, the Native American blankets, the stunning 85-foot-long<br />

table made out of one single piece of Douglas fir, and countless other<br />

objets d’art. GAS thanks Chihuly Studio for opening up this breathtaking<br />

space to us for the Pre-Conference Reception.<br />

Come feast and drink (beer and wine) with GAS, watch a special<br />

glassblowing demo in the hot shop (the created piece will be up for<br />

auction), and take home a swag bag of books, DVDs, and various<br />

treats from Chihuly Studio.<br />

The Pre-Conference Reception is a fundraiser that supports low<br />

<strong>conference</strong> registration fees for student members of GAS. You must<br />

be registered in advance in order to attend. Sign up on page 22.<br />
