Dale Chihuly is a glass artist extraordinaire. Born in Tacoma, Washington in 1941, he studied architecture and interior design at the University of Washington and then studied glass at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also received a Fulbright Fellowship at the Rhode Island School of Design, which allowed him to study the artistry of glass in Venice, known as the “glassblowing capital of the world.”
