Afro Celotto

Afro Celotto, born in Venice, began working with glass when he was only fourteen years old, apprenticing with the legendary Lino Tagliapietra.  During his many years as first assistant to Lino Tagliapietra, Afro had the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest living glass masters.  Since these early years Afro has produced some of the world’s most beautiful art glass.  Even though he is considered a “youngster” in the world of glass blowing, Afro is recognized by collectors for his technical ability and artistic expression.
