Vita
– Afro Celotto was born in 1963, in Venice on the island of Burano. At the age of 14, he began working with glass and apprenticed with the legendary Lino Tagliapietra. After many years at „Effetre International“, Afro brought his skills as a master craftsman to La Murrina. There he specialized in two of the oldest techniques: filigrana and murrine. In 2000, Afro opened his own studio, where he created brand new works of art inspired by his own imagination and established his own style.
