Jack Lenor Larsen, a great friend and mentor, played an essential role in the founding of Pilchuck. A native of Washington, he introduced me to John and Anne G. Hauberg, who became cofounders of the school and its earliest patrons. So when Jack asked me to do an outdoor exhibition in the gardens at LongHouse for the public, we were ready to go. We’d just been working in Finland and had developed many new forms, and this was the first chance to show them. What a setting: I filled the gardens with Fiddleheads, Black Saguaros, Tepees, Red Reeds, Seal Pups; hung chandeliers from trees; and set a boat filled with glass on the pond.   — Chihuly
