Does Dale Chihuly blow glass?

1 Answer
Does Dale Chihuly blow glass?
No, Dale Chihuly no longer blows glass. Dale Chihuly did blow glass until he dislocated his right shoulder in 1979. The injury prevented him from properly holding the glass blowing pipe. However, he did hire others to do the work under his supervision. Shop a wide selection of Dale Chihuly glass pieces on 1stDibs.
