A glass artist for more than 75 years, Lino Tagliapietra is considered the greatest glass-blower of all time. His work has had tremendous impact on the studio-glass art movement internationally, including the Pacific Northwest, a mecca for glass art.
But when asked to describe himself at the beginning of a new documentary about his life and art, Tagliapietra appears uncomfortable identifying himself as a glass artist or even a glass blower. Finally, he murmurs: “Sono Lino” – I am Lino.
