DINO ROSIN

Dino Rosin was born in Venice in 1948 and grew up on the glass making island of Murano. At age 12 he began working as an apprentice learning the secrets of Murano glass making. He later joined his brothers and worked his way to becoming a Master. In 1988, Dino was invited to the Pilchuck Glass School in the state of Washington in the U.S. to teach solid, free-hand glass sculpture with Loredano and the American glass artist, William Morris. Examples of his skill at cutting and finishing large glass sculptures have been exhibited in all of Rosin’s shows. His work has also been displayed at the Museo Dell’arte Vetrariain Murano.

Calcedonia glass is both one of the oldest and one of the most rare types of glass. For 500 years the mystery of Calcedonia glass has fascinated the world. Items made in Calcedonia glass are among the most treasured holdings of the famous museums. The secret of the production of Calcedonia glass was finally rediscovered in 1856 but lost again by the turn of the century. In 1977, the Rosins again achieved the miracle of Calcedonia. Combining transparent and Calcedonia glass, Dino Rosin creates sculptures of ephemeral beauty. The limpid glory of each piece demonstrates the mystical breath of creation..

When his brother Loredano was killed in a boating accident, Dino Rosin carried on the family tradition and has become the “Master”. He has been invited to teach at the Corning Glass School in Corning, NY and the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School in Washington. His work is exhibited and collected worldwide.
