When my sister and I went to see Little House on the Prairie, it took place at \u201cThe Phil\u201d\u00a0 (thePhilharmonic\u00a0Center\u00a0for the Arts) in\u00a0Naples, we also saw an art exhibit.\u00a0 Chihuly, a famous glass blower, had a number of his pieces there and they are magnificent.\u00a0 I have attended two other shows by him \u2013 one in St. Pete, one in\u00a0Orlando\u00a0\u2013 I enjoyed the one in St. Pete so much, I drove to Orlando, just to see his show there.\u00a0 I understand there will soon be a museum, just for his works in St. Pete.<\/p>\n

Dale Chihuly, (b. 1941) has in reality redefined the medium of glass artistry, elevating glassblowing from craft to fine art.\u00a0 He has also changed glassblowing in\u00a0America\u00a0from a basically solitary process to one that employs a \u201cteam\u201d of talented and creative individuals.\u00a0 Using the group approach, he has transformed the shape and scale of glass art, <\/span> having invented numerous new techniques that have radically altered the 2,000 year-old medium.\u00a0 He started glassblowing while majoring in interior design, and did a number of series.\u00a0 Then he dislocated his shoulder, and couldn\u2019t hold the glassblowing pipe.\u00a0 This is when he started using helpers.\u00a0 He describes his role as \u201cmore choreographer than dancer, more supervisor than participant, more director than actor.\u201d\u00a0 Through discussions with his team members, his own drawings and his personal vision, Chihuly guides and drives his colleagues.\u00a0 He says:\u00a0 \u201cI very often push a series to its maximum size.\u00a0 I do it to keep the glassblowers at the very edge of their technical ability, to keep the tension high and exciting.\u00a0 I push them.\u00a0 They push me.\u201d\u00a0 I won\u2019t go on and on, but the colors are fantastic, the designs amazing and if you\u2019ve not seen his work, and there is some of it in your area, don\u2019t miss it.<\/p>\n

Adding on to this: \u00a0I went to the Chilhuly exhibit in St. Pete, paid $17.00 and saw not that much more than the “free” exhibit. \u00a0If you have been to any other shows, feel free to miss this one. \u00a0It’s about 10 minutes worth.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture of me in front of the Phil.<\/p>\n
