Lino in the Hot Shop

The Museum of Glass’s Lino Tagliapietra in Retrospect is the first exhibition to look at the art and 40-year career of Lino Tagliapietra. Widely revered as the maestro of glassblowing, Tagliapietra is an inspiring teacher and the elder statesman between the glass centers of Venice, Italy and the Pacific Northwest. The exhibition comprises 169 objects acquired from the artist’s own collection and collections around the world, including pivotal and renowned series of artistic work, designs made for industry, and private objects that have never been exhibited.

The show runs from February 23 – August 24, 2008.

HOWEVER, Lino will be working the hot shop this week. Come see the master!
