About the Artist: PNW Glass

Colin Satterfield, who frequently demonstrates his work at the Schack Art Center in Everett, creates hand-blown glass art that blends elegant forms with bold, vibrant color. Each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind work that reflects both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.

His journey began in 2003 in Dallas, where he first discovered the allure of molten glass. Chasing a dream, he relocated to Seattle – the epicenter of the American Studio Glass Movement. Immersed in this thriving community, he worked alongside some of the most respected figures in the field. In 2007, Colin joined the renowned Glass House Studio, quickly rising to the role of gaffer, leading a professional glassblowing team.

His pursuit of mastery has taken him across Europe, working at historic glass furnaces and studying centuries-old techniques. These experiences have shaped his signature style – marrying Old World skill with modern innovation.

Today, his work is collected worldwide, celebrated for its fluid forms, luminous colors, and meticulous detail.

“I enjoy the ongoing dialogue with glass,” he said. “It’s an ever-changing interplay of color, form, and light. Finding balance between these elements is a driving force in my work.”
