Episode 30: Dan Friday

Dan Friday has lived in the Northwest his whole life, a shining product of the studio glass movement. Friday has cultivated his artistic vision with strong influence from his indigenous roots in the Pacific Northwest. Craft, form and idea drive Dan's work from conception to object. The past two decades working with artists such as Dale Chihuly and Paul Marioni have given Dan tools and inspiration to develop craft and produce his art. He feels fortunate to have experienced the rich diversity of Seattle for his skill development. Currently Dan's work is in collections around the world.   Episode recorded at Blue Rain Gallery August 2021 Join us this year for Dan Friday exhibition during our Annual Celebration of Native American Art in August 2022.
