Bob Mitchell is one of the region's best known glass artists and for years his blown-glass replicas of chilies have been widely collected. He was also widely recognized for teaching art and glass blowing at Everett Alternative High School, but he left teaching to pursue his art career, expanding his glass business and his artistic vision. He recently moved to Whidbey Island, but commutes to his Marysville glass studio where he creates a variety of beautiful and sophisticated art-glass vases and bowls. He still makes a few glass chilies, but they are very different from earlier versions, he said. His work has been shown locally at such locations as MUSEO gallery in Langley and J Matheson Gifts in Everett.
