Glass Master
Amazing glass sculptor and sculpture, video of workshop and process.
Bio: Vittorio Costantini was born in 1944, on the island of Burano, which is
near Murano, and situated in the lagoon of Venice, Italy. Typical of
most islanders, he is the son of a fisherman and his mother was a lace
maker. He began an apprenticeship in a glass factory at the early age
of 11. Initially, lamp working (or flame working) was a hobby which
occupied the little time he had after a long day working in the factory. CONTINUE
