Chihuly - Saturday Snapshots

Several years ago when a friend visited from Florida, we decided to drive over to Tacoma to Dale Chihuly's Museum of Glass. I'm so glad we did! Not only did we see an exhibition of gorgeous works of glass, we actually saw artists creating their glass sculptures in the museum's Hot Shop. Here are some photos I took of that visit.

The Chihuly Bridge of Glass (pedestrian walkway)
 is dominated by these huge glass sculptures. The bridge also
includes a covered display featuring smaller works.

By the way, Chihuly Garden and Glass opened in Seattle in 2012. I haven't seen the exhibition, but it's supposed to be glorious. Here's more info: Chihuly Garden & Glass - Seattle
