We carry out our complex mission in six distinct settings. Four are located in Portland, Oregon: Bullseye Factory, Bullseye Gallery, Bullseye Research & Education Studios, and Bullseye Resource Center Portland. Our Resource Center Santa Fe and Resource Center Bay Area provide direct service to customers living in or visiting the Southwestern U.S. and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Bullseye FactoryIn our Portland (Oregon) Factory, we manufacture quality colored glass for use in art and architecture. Five days a week our skilled craftspeople pour, roll, and shape glass into sheets and other forms, using methods rooted in the late 17th century and re-invented by three artists who founded the company in the 1970s. Today Bullseye provides more than 1,000 different glass products in a complex color palette to artists worldwide. We are constantly exploring new product possibilities and have been called "the most sophisticated glass-coloring company in the world" by legendary chromaphile and artist Dale Chihuly.
Bullseye GallerySet in Portland's art-rich Pearl District, Bullseye Gallery mounts a dozen or more exhibitions each year with a select group of international artists. These artists range from acknowledged masters to dynamic new visionaries—all riding the leading edge of contemporary studio glass. Bullseye Gallery also presents glasswork at art and design fairs across the United States and abroad.
Bullseye Research & Education StudiosAdjacent to our Factory in southeast Portland are our well-equipped Research & Education Studios. Here, staff instructors and noted guest artists offer short-term classes year round for students at all levels. Our courses encourage fine design and craftsmanship and teach new approaches to kilnforming, kilncasting, coldworking, and flameworking. R & E staff artist/technicians also conduct product tests for the Factory, provide technical support to our customers, and assist visiting artists and architects from around the world in creating innovative new work through our Artist Exchange Program. We document technical advances made in our studios in educational publications and present them to the public on our Web site and in free onsite lectures.
Bullseye Resource Center PortlandAdjoining the Bullseye Factory is our Portland Resource Center, which is known to glass enthusiasts everywhere as a world-class glass store. To this popular destination, beginners and experts alike come to browse Bullseye's complete line of glass products, tools and supplies and to ask questions of the friendly, knowledgeable sales staff.
