Martin Demaine on Lino Tagliapietra—Connections: Renwick Gallery

Beyond his mastery of glass, Martin Demaine admires Lino Tagliapietra for sharing the knowledge and skills he learned growing up in Murano, Italy, noting that, “collaboratively you can do more than you can individually.”

“Connections: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery” highlights the evolution of the craft field as it transitions into a new phase at the hands of contemporary artists, which in some way echoes the communal spirit and ideology of the pioneers of the American Studio Craft Movement in their heyday.
