Great Glass

I heard that Chihuly glass was showing at the Tacoma Museum of Glass.  But what awaited us there was more spectacular than we could have imagined.  The museum features an incredible exhibit by Preston Singletary of Native American inspired glass.  You have to see this man’s work.  It was so fabulous and one of the best examples of  glass art I have ever seen.  What photos I do have for you are the georgeous installation outside the museum, a few shots from the workshop theater, a couple of samples from the workshop and the incredible work of some children from the summer workshop.  This was the surprise museum of my trip.
