2009.10.23. Pilchuck Glass School annual auction

Pilchuck Glass School annual auction, with silent and live auctions, a 5 course very slow but expertly crafted dinner. All pieces were donated by artists. The night raised $900k for the school. Very colorful pieces, some elegant, some ugly, some playful, but all interesting to see. Also fun to see attendees' dresses & jewelries. Online catalog, some photos don't do justice to the art work. My favorite piece is a frosty leaf by Mielle Riggie. Another piece I liked is a blue thermometer by Alyssa Oxley, especially the "water drops".
