"We began our journey into the art glass world when Tom Riley put us in touch with Pilchuck Glass School. Visited and met William Morris, and wonderful glass artists called Joey & Flora. They invited us to their studio. This began many years of visits - including their wonderful visits to us in Cleveland and to them in Seattle. We shared many special times together and have stayed in touch." - Francine Pilloff

Joey Kirkpatrick (American, b. 1952) and Flora Mace (American, b. 1949) are a powerhouse of the contemporary art glass movement with strong ties to Pilchuck Glass School. Kirkpatrick and Mace are known for their oversized glass fruit and their work highlighting technical glass skills. Their body of artwork has been made from diverse materials with feministic symbolisms.

Their artwork can be found in many public museum collections including the Portland Art Museum / Corning Museum of Glass / the Detroit Institute of Arts / the Museum of Fine Art, Boston / Seattle Art Museum / the Metropolitan Museum of Art / Krannert Art Museum / Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art / the Smithsonian American Art Museum / and Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Lausanne.
