Chihuly - Season 1 Episode 4 Chihuly Working With Lino Tagliapietra
In 1988, Dale Chihuly invited Italian glass master Lino Tagliapietra to collaborate with on an audacious glass series called the Venetians. Together, with the stunning use of bold color combinations, new asymmetrical forms, and extraordinarily large scale, they refined the possibilities of what could be made in contemporary glass. Having achieved success at that challenge, Chihuly decided to go small, inventing Piccolo Venetians, in order to work faster and experiment with color and form more easily. Chihuly Working with Lino Tagliapietra brings you into the hotshop to witness Lino interpreting Chihuly's drawings into art glass, and Lino's work inspiring new ideas for more drawings and more glass. The marriage of Lino's traditional glass vessels with Chihuly's eccentricity in the form of coils, snouts, flowers, wraps, and handles make this series unique. The process gives a rare insight into the collaborative workings of one of the most prolific art glass studios in the world.
