  • Dino Rosin Fine Art Sculptor in Glass;
    Dino Rosin Fine Art Sculptor in Glass; By Debbie Tarsitano This past January I was privileged to teach encased flamework design at the Corning Museum School’s Studio. Before traveling to Corning I looked through the course catalogue to see who else was teaching during the week I would be there. There was the name, “Dino Rosin,” and his class “solid sculpture.” As I looked at the small photo of his work in the Corning catalogue, I thought to myself, “I wished I could take his class.” That lone picture in the Corning catalogue told me that here was an artist who understood the true meaning of sculpture. Dino Rosin was born in Venice, Italy on May 30, 1948 and his family moved to the island of Murano while he was still a baby. At age 12 Dino left school to work as an apprentice at the prestigious Barovier and Toso glassworks. In 1963 at age 15, Dino joined his older brothers Loredano and Mirco in their own glass studio “Artvet.” Two years later Loredano and Dino joined Egidio Costantini of Fucina Degli Angeli; while working at this renowned studio, Dino and Loredano collaborated with Picasso and other well-known artists of the time. In 1975, Loredano Rosin opened his own studio and Dino, then aged 27, joined his brother’s new venture, supporting him whole-heartedly. Dino progressed and matured as an artist as he worked alongside his brother Loredano to keep the studio strong. Dino perfected his skills in every area of the studio from mixing batch, the raw materials of glass making, to creating new designs.
