Chihuly Inspired — Community Admired.
In February, we will continue our glass art journey by creating a collaborative Dale Chihuly–inspired recycled “glass” installation that will be temporarily installed in a public space for the community to enjoy. Dale Chihuly is known worldwide for his large-scale, vibrant glass sculptures and colorful suspended installations that transform spaces and celebrate movement, light, and teamwork in the making of art. In this 4-session experience, students will work together to design, build, and assemble a large community art piece using recycled materials to mimic the look and energy of blown glass. This project emphasizes collaboration, creative problem-solving, and the power of public art — giving students the chance to not only create something beautiful, but also to share it with the community in a meaningful, impactful way.
Instructors: Joan Mullen and Brooke Morse
