Jean-Pierre Canlis

Jean-Pierre Canlis first picked up a glassblowing pipe in 1991 at the Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawai'i.

During the summer of 1993, instructor Martin Blank introduced Canlis to Seattle glass artist, Dale Chihuly.

During his last fours years with Chihuly, Canlis also worked with Lino Tagliapietra's glass team.

After spending four years working exclusively on Canlis Glass in Honolulu, Jean-Pierre moved back to Seattle in June 2005 to set up Canlis Glass Gallery & Studio.

His large-scale glass art installations as well as individual works can be seen in restaurants, hotels, private collections and corporations from Seattle to Dubai.
