 ABOUT THE ARTIST

Christopher Morrison is involved in every aspect of glass making.  He studied glass art at Hardwick College in 1982 and received his Bachelor of Arts there in 1984.  Christopher attended the Pilchuck School in 1983 where he studied with Bertil Vallien.  He returned to Pilchuck in 1985 to study with Jon Eric Ritzman and Amy Roberts, and again in 1990 when he studied with Robert Carlson.   He has worked at several major glass blowing facilities including the Tim Philabaum Glass Studios in Tucson, Arizona and Chihuly, Inc. in Seattle, Washington.  With a desire to share his knowledge and experience with students of glass art, Christopher began instructing glass blowing at the Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle in 1992.  He then went on to pioneer the educational program at Seattle Glassblowing Studio before building his own studio, Morrison Glass Art, Inc. in Bellingham, Washington.  Christopher lives in Bellingham with his wife Sonya and their dog Izzy.

 ABOUT THE STUDIO

In Morrison Glass Art, Inc. Christopher Morrison has created a community of glass artists and students.  Christopher regularly teaches beginning and intermediate glass art workshops and the studio participates annually in the Rosen Group and American Craft Council Shows.  Recently Christopher and his studio were featured in Vetro Magazine as an emerging glass artist, and his artwork has also been seen in Glass Magazine and American Style Magazine.   Individual pieces of glass art blown in the Morrison Glass Art studio are available in fine art galleries throughout the United States.

 ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Christopher Morrison innovatively explores the sculptural possibilities in glass.  His art reflects his bond with color, pattern and form.  Christopher's commitment is to create beauty through his art, which features unique formations in glass combined with pristine production techniques.  His work spans a wide range from wild lobster claw helicopia to classical glass vessels to water fountains and other sculptural installations that are playful with a note of majesty.   His latest "Talisman" series captures the essence of those mythical figures that produce extraordinary effects in the ordinary world through the alignment of their patterns with the spiritual world.  Christopher welcomes the opportunity to create individual works of glass that reflect the needs and tastes of his clients.
