Blow Glass Man, Blow

Today we went to the Glass Museum in Tacoma. Glass blowing is a big thing up here, so much so that we have a whole museum devoted just to the art mostly showcasing Dale Chihuly works. He's the big egotistical end all be all of NW glass art but whatever. The feature exhibit right now is all work from an Italian artist named Lino Tagliapietra. Way cool stuff. My personal favorite was the orange Natoalos (nautilus) piece. No pictures in the museum, of course, but check out the link to see his work. But here is a picture from the live studio in the museum where you can take pics. The group is working on a piece that will be featured in the pool just outside the museum entrance when complete.
