Visit the Chihuly glass museum either in Seattle, at the Space Needle site or the Bridge of Glass, Chihuly museum if glass in Tacoma. Unforgettable experience

Chihuly is a hack. His profits off young, dumb kids he tricks into working for him.

That’s because he can’t see. You can’t blow glass with one eye. No depth perception. Those that work for him do get invaluable glass work exposure. It’s hard to start out in glass blowing. Very expensive to develop your style and path. Same thing in Murano. You would be an apprentice for many years. I don’t think going to look at the work denigrates the final product.

No, it’s not. I’ve made bowls and cups. What’s expensive is the blast furnaces, O2, and power bills. You’re full of shit.
