Rik Allen
Rik Allen left his East Coast roots in the mid-90s for the Northwest to work at Pilchuck Glass School and as a member of the William Morris team. In 2005 he established his own studio where he works primarily with glass and metal, sculpting space craft, rockets, and scientific apparatus, reflecting his interest in science fiction and its humor and influence on the scientific world. Allen is represented by Blue Rain Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
