About the Artist: Dan Bergsma (1951–2018) was a Seattle-based glassblower whose work is celebrated for its fluid forms and rich color interplay. Trained at the Pilchuck Glass School and Pratt Fine Arts Center, Bergsma studied under luminaries like Lino Tagliapietra and Dante Marioni. His portfolio spans sculptural vessels, dichroic inclusions, and sandcarved surfaces, often exploring the tension between bold imagery and subtle optical effects. His pieces are held in private collections and have appeared in numerous gallery exhibitions
