Dale’s interest in the shapes and colors of the world led him to Europe, where he met many other artists. He experimented with all types of art, but the moment he picked up a blowpipe and blew a bubble into a blob of hot glass, he was hooked! He knew that hot glass would be his medium. No other form of art made such beautiful use of color and light!
But Dale still wanted to learn even more about glass! He wrote to famous glass artists all over the world, asking to study with them. Everywhere he went, he learned something new! Importantly, he learned how to work well with a small team of other dedicated glass artists. He found such a team in the studio he established in Seattle, Washington. Sometimes a concept would come to him so suddenly, he’d need to quickly capture the idea in a large drawing or painting. His team learned to turn Dale’s drawings into finished works of glass art!
