Pilchuck Glass School, an international center for glass art education based in Stanwood, Washington, raised more than $1.1 million at its 40th Annual Auction and Gala on October 20. The event, Spellbound: Celebrating the Magic of Pilchuck, was attended by patrons, artists and community leaders who enthusiastically raised the paddle during a live auction.
