Christopher Morrison first studied glass with Bertil Vallien, at the Pilchuck
School, in 1983. In 1984, he received his B.A. in Art from Hartwick College.
Morrison then returned to Pilchuck in 1985 to study with Jon Eric Ritzman and
Amy Roberts, and again in 1990, when he studied with Robert Carlson. He has
worked at several major glass blowing facilities, including Tom Philabaum Glass
Studios in Tucson, Arizona, and Chihuly, Inc. in Seattle, Washington.
In 1992, Christopher Morrison began
instructing glass blowing at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle in 1992. He then
pioneered the educational program at Seattle Glassblowing Studio before building
Morrison Glass Art, Inc. in Bellingham, Washington.
Throughout his career, Christopher Morrison has
continued to explore diverse sculptural possibilities in glass. An independent
glass artist, he has created several commissioned installations for private
homes and businesses. Christopher's art reflects his love of the rainforest and
his commitment to present the beauty of the rain forest and nature in his glass
sculpture. His sculptural series, "Heliconia", is his representation of a trip
to the Costa Rican Rainforest. |
