Pilchuck Casting Conference: Full Passes & Day Pass Bundle

Pilchuck Glass School welcomes artists, fabricators, and curators who specialize in cast glass and pâte de verre, to transform our campus into the epicenter of glass casting knowledge. The conference will consist of three days packed full of demonstrations, lectures, collaborations, and panels exploring the possibilities, challenges, and innovations in casting glass. We’ll cover the gamut including casting in a kiln, packing molds for pâte de verre, hot casting, and even bombarding cast glass with plasma.

Full conference passes include access to all three days of conference programming as well as lodging, meals and special after-hours activities.

*Please note, full conference pass attendees arrival and check-in is on Thursday, August 21 and departure is on Monday, August 25.

Early bird pricing for full conference passes will close on Saturday, May 31.

3 day passes include access to all three days of conference programming between 8 am – 7:30 pm and lunch at 12:30 pm in the Pilchuck Lodge. Lodging is excluded.
