Today is Ethan's last day teaching at Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, WA. On the way, we stop in Seattle and pick up Heather at their apartment. She has just ridden her bicycle home from work at The Glass Eye.
On the way up to Stanwood, we see quite a few log trucks. We wonder why some trees have a lighter set of outer rings and darker inner rings. Is it because of nutrition, water, sun? They are all the same type of tree, but as individual as fingerprints.
There is a town called "Millersylvania". What is the meaning of Sylvania? There is Sylvania, the light company, then the state of Pennsylvania. Funny thoughts come to mind when you are mesmerized by the road.
We arrive just in time for dinner. Ethan has saved us four plates of pasta and salad.
After dinner is the Walkaround where Ethan's students show their work from the last 3 weeks. We see a large variety of pieces, from tiny to huge, from students who range in age from 20's to 70's. They are all "beginners" but their skills vary widely. The teaching assistants and Ethan have also made work. It is all quite astounding.
After the show, Ethan dresses in women's clothing for the final demo of the session, "Lady's Night".
