Toots Zynsky talks about her early experience with Pilchuck. Oral history interview with Toots Zynsky, March 22, 2018, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:45.

Toots Zynsky: That was the semester Dale had decided to build Pilchuck [Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington] and he was looking for people and, you know, he kept asking me to go out and I had other plans for the summer and I kept going,’“No. It’s okay [laughs], you know, you got plenty of people, you know, it’ll be fine.’ And then he sent John Landon, who still works for him, and Buster Simpson, who I later did a lot of collaboration with, and somebody else to convince me. And it was just because I was a hard worker. Because I thought I might only be there one semester, I’d given myself that one. So I wound up, you know, going out, building Pilchuck, getting pretty involved with that. So that’s how I got involved in glass.
