Pilchuck Glass School's 36th Annual Auction

It was a Poleturner reunion this past weekend!...Myself and fellow Poleturner friends met up in Seattle, Washington to attend Pilchuck Glass School’s Annual Auction Gala.

Silly photo fun with these lovely glassblowers

Held at The Westin Hotel, each table setting featured blown glass centrepieces that I helped create this past summer.  An absolute pleasure being part of such a successful event!

The fundraising gala was attended by over 700 patrons, artists, and community leaders.  In it's 36th year, the event featured more than 350 artworks, and raised over $300 000 in support of the school’s dynamic educational programs.

The evening was filled with incredible glass art, delicious food and drinks, the company of lovely friends, and donations from generous supporters.  Highlights also included a photo op with the one and only Dale Chihuly!  Talk about a fulfilling evening :)
