This past December, students and staff members from Hilltop Artists were the special guests of Dale and Leslie Chihuly at the hotshop. During the visit they watched a special blow of the Persian series, and were treated to a tour of the Boathouse, led by Dale.
Executive Director Kimberly F. Keith presented the Chihulys with gifts specially-made by the students, to include a hot cast Hilltop insignia artwork, and a unique necklace created by student Nicole Mullen.
