Chihuly Ikebana Pals
Delicate in nature, yet unmistakably Chihuly, Ikebana Pals was created using a combination of time-honored printmaking methods. Using a technique known as a la poupee,
the master printmaker painstakingly dabs all chosen colors onto the
plate created by the artist and produces each individual print in this
manner, freshly inking the plate each time. Next, in a process called chine colle, kozo rice paper (washi)
is placed between the print and the printing plate, contributing to a
sublime fragility and grounding Chihuly’s graceful marks.

In 1968 a Fulbright Fellowship allowed him to further his study at the Venini glass factory in Italy — an experience that influenced his team approach to blowing glass. Honorary doctorates, fellowships from the NEA and a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation are among Chihuly’s other awards, and his work is in more than 200 museums around the world. He is based in western Washington, where he co-founded Pilchuck Glass School in 1971.
