About the Item

Master glassblower Lino Tagliapietra is one of the world’s most prominent glass artists. Trained in traditional Venetian techniques, Tagliapietra is a key influence on the American studio glass movement. In 1955, at the age of 21, Tagliapietra received the title of maestro. He established himself with vividly colored sculptures, which often take the shape of elegant teardrops. Master glass artists Dale Chihuly and Benjamin Moore invited Tagliapietra to teach at Pilchuck Glass School in 1979, marking the start of Tagliapietra’s long-standing mentorship of a generation of U.S.-based artists. He has since held workshops and demonstrations at institutions around the country. In 2008, the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., mounted the first retrospective of Tagliapietra’s sculptures, spotlighting teardrops, functional objects, and an installation of suspended blown glass. In 2021, Tagliapietra announced his retirement after close to 80 years of visionary glass blowing.

  • Large Flattened Form with Shards and Cane in Blues - blown glass vessel
    By Susan Rankin
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    This beautiful burnt orange vessel in blown glass takes its organic shape and wild patterns from nature. Canadian artist Susan Rankin finds inspiration in the ever-changing colours and forms in the garden she tends to all summer. “With this new series of blown vessels I am working with more transparent translucent colours, shards, glass threads and thread drawing. The resulting pieces have a history/story built into the surface, which encompass the optic qualities of glass and light.” Susan Rankin She graduated with honors from Sheridan College, Oakville Ontario, in 1989 and received a three-year artist in residency at the Harbourfront Centre glass studio. Rankin has studied glass at the Pilchuck...
