Toots Zynsky: Yeah, I mean the great place—one of the great things I think about places like Pilchuck [Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington] or you know, any of the other places which even have more, you know, diff—a larger variety of different mediums being explored and that kind of interchange that happens—at Pilchuck, I mean, I think inarguably it’s probably the most single most important center for learning every possible different kind of glassmaking in the world. So, you know, you might go there with a thought to do this, but then you get there and then there are all these other amazing things going on that you hadn’t maybe thought about or seen before or been able to have facility to try. And that’s the beauty of those kinds of places, that you can do all that.
