In 1988 Dino Rosin was invited to Pilchuck Glass School* in Washington to teach solid free dash 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 throughout the world. Dino Rosin's work is his own name and has also been seen at the Museo dell'arte vetraria in Murano Italy. Dino Rosin is now carrying on in the tradition of his deceased brother Loredano. Dino Rosin's skillful use of "calcedonia" glass is unique and makes his pieces recognizable.
CALCEDONIA GLASS
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 uncertainties and difficulties of Calcedonia glass production were resolved only by the masters of Murano and lost with the fall of the Venetian Republic. The secret of the production of Calcedonia was finally rediscovered by Lorenza Radi in 1856, but lost again by the turn of the 20th century.
In 1977, the master 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 achieved by adding about 4 1/2 pounds (1 Kilo) of silver nitrate to each batch of Calcedonia glass. The exact shades and degree of striation can not be controlled and creates the un-predicable beauty of each piece.
