"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for making my studies at Pilchuck Glass School possible. I was thrilled to learn of my selection for this honor, and I am deeply appreciative of your support. Studying at Pilchuck was an amazing experience in which I got to widen my knowledge of materials, the glass field and American design.
During this summer, I took part in the “Rare Seeds” course at Pilchuck, with the teachers Cathy Chase and Pike Powers. The course taught a sand casting technique using visual inspiration from the surrounding forest. Pilchuck is located in the Pacific Northwest, not far from Seattle. The surroundings are a beautiful forest with old trees and ferns. The whole campus is immersed in nature, which creates an ideal environment for experimenting and developing great ideas. The campus has various shops like plaster molds, glass blowing, and 3d printers.
