Description: Peggy Pettigrew Stewart Master Glass ArtistPeggy Pettigrew Stewart's award-winning glass art featured in museums, exhibitions, and galleries worldwide. Her work shows her fascination and unique journey in glass beginning 21 years ago, after battling cancer and recently (significant brain surgery in 2015).With a technical background, she has been able to develop new techniques, processes with glass. Her technical knowledge has helped her to create new materials, tools, and equipment. She is one of the early pioneers working with Float glass. She is considered a master at fusing, casting, kiln sculpting, and sand carving. She has studied extensively coldworking, sandblasting, and sand carving in addition to fusing. She combines multiple processes to create her unique glass art. She is one of just a few U.S. instructors to teach the Verre' EglomiseTM glass technique. Ms. Stewart attended the famed Pilchuck International Glass School and Academe' Taller in Spain. She has studied and worked with many masters of glass. She had the honor of working with Team Chihuly during the Dale Chihuly exhibit installation in Phoenix, Arizona. Her work is held in museums and private collections worldwide.Ms. Stewart's glass work is bent to release prismatic color. It is evident in all her glass works, ranging from human face-to-glass expressions to individually themed bowls formed by kiln forming, kiln casting, sculpting, sandblasting and carving, coloring, and use of exotic metals. Peggy gives voice to the human spirit through her glass sculpturing of "Heroes of Woodstock" TM, a growing collection featuring the faces of great musicians from the Woodstock festival that defined a generation almost half a century past. She continues her decades-long fascination and experimentation with translucence and transparency, color, and light. https://www.facebook.com/Peggypettigrewstewart https://peggypettigrewstewart.com/ ORIGINAL HANDCRAFTED GLASS Dale Chihuly (/tʃɪˈhuːli/) (born September 20, 1941) is an American glass artist and entrepreneur. He is best known in the field of blown glass, "moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture". In 1971, with the support of John Hauberg and Anne Gould Hauberg, Chihuly co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School near Stanwood, Washington. Chihuly also founded the HillTop Artists program in Tacoma, Washington at Jason Lee Middle School and Wilson High School.In 1976, while Chihuly was in England, he was involved in a head-on car accident that propelled him through the windshield.[8] His face was severely cut by glass and he was blinded in his left eye. After recovering, he continued to blow glass until he dislocated his right shoulder in 1979 while bodysurfing. No longer able to hold the glassblowing pipe, he hired others to do the work. Chihuly explained the change in a 2006 interview, saying "Once I stepped back, I liked the view", and said that it allowed him to see the work from more perspectives, enabling him to anticipate problems earlier. Chihuly's role has been described as "more choreographer than dancer, more supervisor than participant, more director than actor".[1] San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Erin Glass wrote that she "wonders at the vision of not just the artist Chihuly, but the very successful entrepreneur Chihuly, whose estimated sales by 2004 was reported by The Seattle Times as $29 million."[9] Chihuly and his team of artists were the subjects of the documentary Chihuly Over Venice. They were also featured in the documentary Chihuly in the Hotshop, syndicated to public television stations by American Public Television starting on November 1, 2008.
