Christopher Morrison innovatively explores the sculptural possibilities of glass, merging color, pattern, and form into works that are both technically masterful and visually captivating. His art reflects a lifelong commitment to creating beauty—whether through elegant vessels, vibrant botanical forms, or monumental glass installations that evoke both playfulness and majesty. As one of the early entrants into the Pacific Northwest glass movement, Morrison first studied at the renowned Pilchuck Glass School in 1983. He earned his B.A. in Art from Hartwick College in 1984 and returned to Pilchuck in 1985 to continue refining his craft. His professional journey includes working at several major glass studios, among them Tom Philabaum Glass Studios in Tucson and Chihuly, Inc. in Seattle. In 1992, Morrison began teaching glassblowing at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, later pioneering the educational program at Seattle Glassblowing Studio before establishing his own studio. His work ranges from striking natural forms—such as the Lobster Claw Heliconia series—to his more recent Talisman collection, which captures the spirit of mythical figures whose alignment with the spiritual world brings extraordinary beauty to the everyday. Morrison’s art celebrates the transformative nature of glass: its ability to capture light, movement, and emotion—revealing a timeless connection between material, maker, and meaning.
