ROBERT ADAMSON - Glass Artist
For more than 50 years, glass artist Robert Adamson has pursued a love of hand-blown glass. Engaged at Pilchuck Glass School in the early 1970’s as the technical and assistant director, he later turned his vision of glass-making into a highly successful studio and training ground for young glass artists in the Pacific Northwest, when he founded the nationally known art glass company, Glass Eye Studio, in 1978.
In the late 90s, Adamson finished construction of his own glass facility, Island Art Glass on Whidbey Island, where he continues to explore sculptural directions in contemporary art glass, including blown, cast and deeply carved forms.
Adamson has exhibited his handblown and carved glass all across the United States and is represented in numerous private and public collections, including the renowned Corning Museum in Corning, New York.
