Teaches at UrbanGlass

Chance, situation and unbridled humor inform non-traditional works in glass. Collaboration, concept and reflection of place enlighten the glass making processes, in the creation of works and installations displaying concerns for recycling, process and immediate circumstance.

John Drury and Robbie Miller each have more than 30 years of experience with glass and in 2008, celebrated their twenty year collaborative effort by teaching a course for the Pilchuck Glass School; their fifth. During the fall of 2009, Drury and Miller installed the exhibition American Glass: How Soon Is Now at the William Traver Gallery, including the works completed that previous year at Pilchuck. In 2013, Robbie and John celebrated 25 years of collaboration with a month-long residency at Canberra Glassworks in Australia and dual workshops for the University of Washington and the Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle, the point of genesis for the collaborative duo. To date, Mr. Drury and Mr. Miller have co-taught students from throughout the United States, Argentina, Australia, England, Japan, India, Israel, Mexico, South Korea and Guatemala.
