Oregon, Chris Hawthorne does decorative blown-glass that includes "jellyfish, fans, vessels, platters, ceramic busts and tribal art-inspired masks." In 1978, he met famed glass artist, Dale Chihuly, and accepted Chihuly's invitation to study at his school in Pilchuck with Patrick Reyntiens, a flat-glass artist. In 1985, he opened a studio for full-time commitment to glass blowing, and by 1987, had enough work to enter in a crafts show. This was a turning point and brought him praise from collectors and critics.
