Chihuly in the Hotshop In 2006 the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, invited Dale Chihuly to work in their state-of-the-art hotshop, an amphitheater specifically designed to allow the audience to watch the action close at hand. Chihuly's residency soon became the idea for this documentary as he set forth on an ambitious program that would reflect the sum total of his work in glass over the last thirty years. All thirteen of his best-known series were revisited along with more than forty artists and gaffers who had worked with Chihuly at the time of the inception of each series.

Chihuly Over Venice
Internationally acclaimed American artist Dale Chihuly, widely hailded as the greatest glass artist of the 20th century, embarks on an unprecedented journey to the world's leading glass factories in this colorful homage to the Venetian glass tradition.
Chihuly and his team travel from their studio in Seattle to leading glass factories in Finland, Ireland and Mexico, collaborating with fellow artisans on the creation of magnificent sculptures. Their goal: to install monumental chandeliers throughtout the city of Venice as part of the fist international Biennale of Glass in September 1996. The result is a dazzling display of shimmering glass forms dangling from the bridges that span the romantic Grand Canal and gracing the city's grand architectural spaces.
Chihuly Over Venice has the distinction of being the first program broadcast by PBS in high-definition television.
