Maestro Lino Tagliapietra

Lino Tagliapietra’s career is defined by a dedication to workmanship, innovation, and collaboration. Born in 1934 on the renowned glass-blowing island of Murano, Italy, Tagliapietra began his apprenticeship at age 11 with Muranese master Archimede Seguso from whom Tagliapietra achieved the status of Maestro Vetraio by the age of 21. For over forty-two years, Lino worked in various for-profit Murano factories including Vetreria Galliano Ferro, Venini & Co., and finally as the Artistic and Technical Director of Effetre International (1976-1989). Tagliapietra has been an independent artist since 1989, exhibiting in museums around the globe, receiving countless honors, openly sharing his far-reaching knowledge of the medium and his skill as one of its finest practitioners, and helping to create a new renaissance in studio glassmaking. 

We wish to share this announcement that Lino's Seattle Showroom will be closing its doors at the end of October. As they prepare to close this new chapter, we invite you to view their FINAL SHOW catalog below to see other available works.

We will continue to be in touch with Lino and Jacopo, as they transition their business to Murano over the next year.

Wishing them all the best, with gratitude and respect,

Kim and Jim
