Happy Dale Chihuly Weekend, everyone! We know; we know. Dale Chihuly's dreamy color, glossy surfaces and flamboyant design are old hat for Tacomans, but as far as we're concerned, the Chihuly's contemporary glassmaking still draws. Saturday and Sunday, visitors to the Museum of Glass may watch Dale Chihuly and his team create pieces inspired by the "Irish Cylinders" - originally created in 1975 - with artist Seaver Leslie and glass artist Flora C. Mace in the cone. This weekend the Hot Shop will be running on all, um, Irish cylinders, or something.

CHIHULY WEEKEND EXPERIENCE, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Museum of Glass, 1801 Dock St., Tacoma, $7-$19, 253.284.4732
