Encounters in Glass: James Mongrain and Jason Christian The Chihuly Collection presents a new temporary exhibition which brings together two Seattle based glass artists working in Italian techniques but each with their own flair of inspiration.

Jason Christian is an emerging artist in his own right with refined caning techniques and visual references to Faberge.
