Dale Chihuly Onyx Soft Cylinder with Drawing Shards and Russet Lip Wrap 8 x 8 x 8” 8 Chihuly’s Soft Cylinders, a series that began 30 years ago, demonstrates a pick-up technique of drawing on glass which uses a series of colored shards, carefully placed on a hotplate and then gathered onto the molten piece before the final gather of glass from the furnace. These drawings reflect the early influence that American Indian trade blankets had on his works, just as the organic shape of each piece is reminiscent of Northwest Coast Indian baskets. Black melts into transparency, a transition that floats the opaque color and provides a nuanced background for the vibrant drawings. The intense orange shards and subtle patterning weave an elegant reference to the deep history of this series, while vibrant red caps this piece with a unifying lip wrap. Chihuly revisited these artworks in spring 2014, pushing the technique and color in unprecedented ways. This iconic piece captures this rich history with an elegant, modern touch. ▷ Volunteers will be circulating during the Silent Auction to record your donation if you would like to participate. Thank you for your generosity! 9 John Kiley Who will win the 2015 Coney Awards?

Combining Skyriver’s whale form with Bouchet O’Neill’s fluid patterning seemed like a natural fit. Armelle Bouchet O’Neill is a French-born, Seattle-based glass artist. She studied at The Danish School of Design on the island of Bornholm before moving to the United States in 2009. Raven Skyriver started blowing glass in high school at the age of 16.

His focus in the area of sculpture and depiction of marine life is inspired by his island upbringing and informed by the creatures that inhabit this fragile ecosystem.

I work with glass that has transparency and translucency, two qualities that serve as perfect metaphors for what is known and unknown about life science. The segmented, geometrical forms of my work represent cells, embryos, biological and molecular structures—each symbolizing the building blocks of life as well as the starting point of life. I transform solid glass using cutting, lamination, carving and surface refining processes to make art that is both beautiful and deeply invested with meaning. — Jiyong Lee Thank you: Jiyong Lee Cut, Color Laminated, Carved Glass 6 ½ x 12 x 6 ½ inches Signed — 2013 26 Live Auction 7:30 pm Jiyong Lee is a studio artist and educator who lives and works in Carbondale, Illinois.

Areas of intense carving create a rhythmic quality, while the overall organic form brings a sense of vitality to the work. Salvadore’s tireless quest for perfection and constant drive to push the boundaries of his material have led him to new ways of thinking about glass and its capabilities.

These pieces allude to the human figure with their colorful “ribcages,” graceful necks, and expressive “body” language. Each vessel has its own individual personality, with color combinations and shapes that reflect the environments in which they originated. I often travel to different parts of the country to lecture and demonstrate glassblowing techniques. When making these pieces away from home, I absorb the mood of the city and the energy of the crew that I work with. The personalities of the individuals and the dynamics of the group influence and affect the process, and ultimately, the finished piece. — John Miller Thank you: John Miller Blown and sandblasted glass using graal technique 24 x 9 ½ inches 2013 Live Auction 7:30 pm 49 Introducing the upcoming 2015 Lexus NXG Lexus of Tacoma is a proud sponsor of Museum of Glass. red silent auction 51 101 102 Artifacts #2 by Jean Cheely $475 There’s no place like home.

The Spirale series is inspired by combining two techniques from two different mediums: the “Coil” method from ceramics and the Italian “Zanfirico” technique from glass. Traditionally, Zanfirico is applied vertically to create a linear design, however, the fluid circular design of this piece coils from top to bottom in one continuous spiral. The combination of these techniques create a unique horizontal pattern which is what I aim for when creating this series. — Brandon Cupp Thank you: Brandon Cupp Blown canes 16 ½ x 3 x 9 inches Signed — 2011 Soak up the art, culture, sun and views from the Thea Foss Waterway.

The face is life-size, and is from a life cast made of Lance Polingyouma, the son of the Chief of the Hopi Tribe (Bluebird Tribe) and oral historian for the tribe.

Each guest will receive a bid number upon arrival. Write your number on the bid sheet when bidding on silent auction items, and raise your number to bid on live auction items. Be prepared to bid when price call is made by the auctioneer, as the process moves quickly. 2. In accordance with laws of the State of Washington, a bid acknowledged by the live auctioneer is a legal contract to purchase the item, and a bid acknowledged by the silent auction official as the top bid is a legal contract to purchase that silent auction item. By bidding in the live or silent auction, each bidder agrees to abide by the auction rules here stated. 3. The BANK will open to receive payments beginning at 9:00 pm. Please pay for all purchases before 10:30 pm. We will gladly accept your payment by cash, personal or corporate check, VISA, American Express, MasterCard or Discover.

Reservations for experiences must be arranged with the donor for mutually acceptable dates unless otherwise specified. 9. Unless otherwise noted, all goods and services must be claimed and used within twelve months of the auction date. 10.
