Raven Skyriver was born on Lopez Island, and first learned glassblowing with friend and mentor Lark Dalton. Raven studied glass in Venice and worked with Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen and the William Morris Team at Pilchuck Glass School. It was here that he met his wife Kelly, and they lived in Stanwood for 15 years. Raven, Kelly, and their son Wren recently relocated to Lopez Island, and are currently building their dream glass studio at their home on Pavey Hill.
