Saturday, October 15, 2016
Registration || 3:30pm-9pm
The Registration Team works with a GiveSmart team member to sign in and welcome guests, provides them with registration materials and answers general questions regarding the auction. Volunteers should be friendly, detail-oriented and work well under pressure.
(GiveSmart is a 3rd party company responsible for processing all transactions on the night of the auction)
Bid Spotters || 5pm-10:30pm
Bid Spotters are assigned a grid position within Studio A (where the Live Auction takes place) and will point toward bidders during the Live Auction with a wand to assist the auctioneer in seeing the patron’s bid number. The spotter with the winning bidder in their grid will move to the winner and remain in place until the auctioneer announces the winner and until the bid runner arrives at the patron’s table.
Check Out/Pick Up Team || 7:30pm-11pm
This team receives boxes from the Packing Team then sorts the boxes by bidder #. This team works with GiveSmart to receive paid receipts from each guest. The volunteer will collect the guests' items and transport boxes to Valets (if needed) and guests at the designated meeting area. Must be detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact Sara at ssloyer@pilchuck.com or at 206.254.1966. We are grateful to all our volunteers!

Description
Pilchuck Glass School is an international center for glass art education. Our serene campus in Stanwood, Washington, is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade mountains on a former tree farm.
From May through August every year, Pilchuck offers a series of two- and three-week courses as well as residencies for emerging and established artists in all media. Each of the five sessions offers five concurrent courses. Small classes taught by world-renowned artists and instructors emphasize experimentation and teamwork while fostering individual initiative and expression.
New and experienced artists alike often make tremendous conceptual and artistic progress in their short time at Pilchuck. Combining a deep focus on glass, access to a variety of resources, an unspoiled Pacific Northwest setting, and an ever-expanding international community of artists, Pilchuck has become the most comprehensive educational center in the world for glass artists.
