Lino Taglipietra, an influential Italian glass artist and master glassmaker who is recognized throughout the world for his skill and talent, will be present October 9-11 to open his exhibition. The exhibition will be open through February 14, 2016.
Lino, as his is affectionately known, is among the most admired and beloved glass artists living today. He has earned the title of the Maestro, or master glass blower. His skills reflect a long Italian tradition in glass, using techniques and skills that date back six centuries. However, his attitude is exploratory and contemporary, providing anything but an historic reference. It is this excitement and youthful, exploratory outlook that has made the work of this 81 year-old glassblower from Murano highly sought and collectible. It is also his passion about making art from glass that has placed him in the enviable position of Maestro.
