Co-founded by Dale Chihuly in 1971, Pilchuck Glass School is an international glass education facility located in Stanwood, Washington in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.“I teach kids they can use any color, any size paper, work any way they want to. There are no boundaries, there are no rules.”
