About

One of the greatest living artists working in glass, Lino Tagliapietra was born in 1934 in Murano, Italy and became an apprentice glassblower at age 11. Even at a young age, Tagliapietra exhibited an immense dexterity for glass and, at age 21, was appointed the title of “Maestro,” an honor reserved for only the best glassblowers.

In 1979, he visited Seattle for the first time and introduced students at the renowned Pilchuck School to the long tradition of Venetian glassblowing, thereby forming a cross-cultural collaboration that helped shape the identity of American glass blowing.

This special exhibition includes more than 30 pieces created over the past 15 years, including new work. The selection highlights Tagliapietra’s creations in a range of spectacular and experimental forms, as well as his intense colors and intricate patterns.
