Bullseye Studio

Bullseye Studio was very honored recently to receive a visit from renowned British designer Yinka Ilori and Portland Art Museum’s John Goodwin. Ted Sawyer showed them some of the things we can do with glass for interior and exterior environments.

The team at Bullseye Studio was honored to work with Wendy Red Star to make this monumental work of glass. "The Soil You See..." acknowledges the names of 50 Apsáalooke chiefs and tribal representatives who brokered treaties with the US government in the 19th century.

Public Art Installation at Sea-Tac

Fabrication is currently well underway at Bullseye Studio for a large-scale public artwork by Seattle-based artist Morgan Madison.

Commissioned for the expanded SEA Gateway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the project brings together design, ecology, and kilnformed glass at architectural scale.
