We where lucky to be in Venice when the show of Murano born, glass artist Lino Tagliapietra was happening. It was a fantastic presentation of his most important pieces.
It was also a very nice video of him working in Italy and America.
I know a little bit of glass blowing through my Designer friends in Sweden, who are actually good friends of Lino.
It is not easy to handle the hot, heavy glass and weave it into these graceful shapes requires a master. Lino Tagliapietra is considered one of the best.
See his site, it is very informative.
Electric blue, in this amazing shape. It is curious to see it stand safely on a table.
This piece unfolds his classic background.
This is the Palazzi Cavalli- Franchetti. near the Bridge of Accademia.
