October 12th and 13th, 2002

.Emilio Santini was born in Murano, Italy into a noble family with a 600-year glassblowing tradition. His father, a glass-blower and self-taught lampworker, was his first teacher.
At age 11, he began working at a glass factory. At 17, his father started teaching him lampworking.
Now a resident of Williamsburg, VA, he has resumed blowing glass at the furnace and is completing his new studio, which will include facilities for glassblowing, casing and lampworking. His work is featured in numerous private and museum collections around the world.
