The school was founded in 1971 by artist Dale Chihuly with the support of patrons Anne Gould Hauberg and John H. Hauberg. Chihuly envisioned a retreat that would offer artists an opportunity to work with and learn about glass amid the spectacular beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Chihuly's vision quickly became a shared reality for thousands of artists from around the world. Today, Pilchuck is the world's largest and most comprehensive educational center for artists working in glass, and an international model for visual arts education.
