Pleasures at PAiR

I just got back from a ten-day Professional Artist in Residence (PAiR) Program at Pilchuck Glass School, in Stanwood, Washington, the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  There were 14 students, all outstanding glass artists, and two of the best teachers in the world - Richard Parrish and Steve Klein. 

This was all about experimenting and seeing where we each want to take our glass art.  I focused on making mandalas, but without my usual triangle bars and murrini, down to the essence - wholeness, unity, cosmic design, mindfulness, transcendence.  Excited to see where this all leads.  Unlimited possibilities.  Feeling so grateful.
