Watch a never-before-released demonstration with Venetian glass Maestro, Lino Tagliapietra, at work in the Amphitheater Hot Shop in 2016. NOTE: There is no room/hotshop sound, but there is the audio from the narrator starting at 6:02, which you’ll then hear randomly as they share what’s going on in the demo. There is also no shot of the final piece out of the annealer, but you can find examples of Lino’s work on his website [ Ссылка ].

Tagliapietra is recognized the world over as a master of traditional techniques, a teacher who has shaped the world of contemporary glass, and an artist who creates sculptures renowned for their complexity, elegance, and visual poetry. [ Ссылка ]
