Be sure to attend this special event at Centre.

Lino Tagliapietra
For the past thirty years, Lino Tagliapietra has generously shared his unsurpassed mastery of traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques with glass artists and audiences around the world. He has largely been responsible for a new renaissance in glassblowing that has swept through the world of studio glassmaking.

This fourth visit to Centre College celebrates Lino's enduring relationship with Centre.

In 2000 Lino was named Human Distinguished Professor. The Documentary "Lino Tagliapietra: Maestro of Glass" (produced by Powell) was filmed at Centre, and aired on public television stations nationwide.

In 2004, at Centre's commencement, Lino received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters along with Sandra Day O'Connor.

Lino returns because of his love of Centre and Kentucky.
