Nine Lives
Presented by Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC)
For 25 years Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) has been growing a vibrant community of glass artists. Today that community includes hundreds of glass artists who have moved to Pittsburgh to live and make their art and those that have become passionate about glass by learning and teaching at PGC.
Nine Lives highlights a small selection of glass artists who live and create in Pittsburgh, including Sandra Bacchi, Chris Clarke, Matt Eskuche, Jason Forck, Kathleen Mulcahy, Lyla Nelson, SaraBeth Post-Eskuche, Gillian Preston, and Chris Ross.
About Pittsburgh Glass Center
Glass Art: We teach it. We create it. We promote it. We support those who make it.
Founded in 2001, Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) is a nonprofit, public access glass art school, gallery, retail shop, and state-of-the-art studio. Since its opening, PGC has educated nearly half a million individuals, contributed to the ongoing development of the city’s East End, and made Pittsburgh a significant hub in the international studio glass community. A multimillion-dollar expansion in 2024 nearly doubled its capacity, allowing it to meet the increasing demand for glass programs and studios. To learn more, visit www.pittsburghglasscenter.org.
