Glass School proudly announces the winners
of the prestigious 2005 Corning and Saxe Awards.

These two full scholarship awards are designated for outstanding artists
who have been nominated by Pilchuck faculty and staff from the previous
summer session. The Corning Foundation Award recognizes the most outstanding
student from the prior summer while the Saxe Award offers the most outstanding
teaching or artist assistant from the previous summer an opportunity
to take a Pilchuck workshop of her choice. |

Award has been presented to Sora Sim of Inchon, Republic
of Korea. Chosen from a highly competitive pool of

2004 kiln-cast sculpture class. Holding an M.F.A.
in art and working as a university art instructor,
her work reflects a long-held interest in exterior
sculptures and work that harmonizes with the landscape.
