DINO ROSIN — Born in Venice in 1948, Dino Rosin was taken by his family while still an infant to live on Murano, the glass-producing island in the Venice lagoon. At age 12 Rosin began work as an apprentice at one of the island's oldest and most renowned glass factories. His love for glass working gave him the chance to quickly earn a reputation.
In 1988, Dino Rosin was invited to demonstrate his way of working molten glass at the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State that was founded by Dale Chihuly. It is a collaboration that Dino Rosin has kept up ever since.
Rosin's work is carried in only the finest galleries in the world and he is considered one of the most skilled glass artists working today.

********************************************************************************
Dino Rosin is a true "Maestro" from the celebrated glass island of Murano, Italy. Dosin Rosin continues his family's tradition of glass blowing that dates back generations. Each piece is stunning with a combination of clear and "Calcedonia" glass. Dino Rosin's studio produces the clearest and most colorful Calcedonia glass in the world. Impossible to duplicate, each piece is completely unique in its color.
What is "Calcedonia"?
Calcedonia is one of the oldest and rarest types of glass. Calcedonia was first developed on Murano during the mid-fifteenth century. For 500 years, the mystery of creating Calcedonia has fascinated the world. Artifacts made of Calcedonia glass are among the most treasured holdings of many famous museums. The uncertainies and difficulties of Calcedonia glass production resolved only by the masters of Murano and lost with the fall of the Venetian Republic. The secert of the production of Calccedonia was finally rediscovered by Lorenza Radi in 1856, but lost again by the turn of the 20th century. In 1977, Loredano Rosin, working with his brother Dino Rosin, again achieved the miracle of Calcedonia, and used the ancient and historical glass to create hand made sculpture of modern and romantic design. The striations of color are acheived by adding about 4 1/2 punds of silver nitrate to each batch of Calcedonia glass. The exact shades and degress of striation can not be controlled and creates the unpredicable beauty of each piece and makes each piece unique....
