Afro is a Suuuper nice guy.

I got to meet him at my highschool last year when he did a demo.

I only know of one High School that has glassblowing, so I take it you're a Paly student? (I live in NJ now, but I grew up in Palo Alto, and went to Paly, and I too met him at one of the demos he did there)

mserebreny 3 years ago

yes, i am a junior at paly right now. check out some of my videos!

what high school is that? a high school with a hotshop is awesome, I had to settle for industrial design. Which admittedly has served me pretty well

I just want everyone to know that Afro Celotto is a rip-off artist. All of his work are an inadequate copy off of the Maestro Lino Tagliapietra. If you actually want to see good glass artwork done by a man that is a true Maestro, and not simply a glass worker who can't come up with his own ideas, you should check out Lino. While Afro's works may look nice they are nothing but a mimicry of a far better artist. I would have respect for him if he actually had his own ideas.

I'm sorry you feel this way - I've had the honor of not only seeing Afro in person, as well as assisting him in a piece he made, but I have also sat just a few feet from Lino and watched him work.... Usually an apprentice takes after his master - Afro was apprenticed to lino as a young artist, therefore he takes many design principals from him. Just as Lino takes after Archimede Seguso, his master when he was an apprentice - he's not a rip off artist, he's just using what his master taught him..

Yeah Atrus,

Not to knock you but it is truly impossible to be 100 percent original, EVERYTHING has been done in glass, we as glassblowers are trapped by the material. There is only so much you can do, so far you can innovate, and only so far you can change the process. One cannot escape the influences of their teachers, you can only hope to be as proficient with the material as you can and find your own style through the work, even if its similar to someone else's.

you're an idiot. Afro was Linos Primo Servente. His prime assistant. Not just an apprentice, but the most highly regarded one. If Lino thinks that highly of him, maybe you oughta just be quiet.

Dierwolf2000 2 years ago

So sorry to burst your bubble but apparently youre the idiot. The prime word in you statement is the word was. Afro WAS Linos assistant. When Afro left, Lino supported his decision to go create his own work, but Afro began creating rip-offs of Linos work with his name on it. Im an amateur and I have my own ideas. Maestro is a title reserved for artists who exhibit such qualities as expertise, control and CREATIVITY within their medium. Afro is a worker not a maestro.

AtrusX 2 years ago

LOL dude, you're an amateur with no fucking clue what he's talking about. Lino and Afro on the other hand are both Maestros with decades of training and experience, and the inheritors of a thousand year tradition. You not only haven't earned the right to critique EITHER of them, or their decisions, but you are doing so with woefully inadequate knowledge. Shut your trap, learn, and let your ego simmer down. Otherwise, ten years from now, I'll still consider you an idiot.

Dierwolf2000 2 years ago

and furthermore, maybe Afro is leaning to heavily on Lino's style. But as with any art or artist, the only one who gets to say that is LINO. Pull your head out of your ass buddy, the guy taught Afro everything he knows, of course there's gonna be similarities.

Dierwolf2000 2 years ago

and furthermore ALL the forms i've EVER seen afro and lino create are either traditional venetian vessel forms, or modifications of them. are you gonna tell me lino is a rip off artist from archiemede serguso with whom HE apprenticed?

any one want to buy some vases. I have 6

What do they look like? Are you a gallery?

CaptCKPO 3 years ago

this is increadible! but it didn't show the end result of what they were making - what was it? a vase? a glass ornament? it was very beautiful but I didn't see the end product.

also, what is the piano concerto? who is it by? (the second music piece in this video)

NadezhdaRozagy1 3 years ago

They were making some sort of a Vase, if I remember correctly. The piece of music to which you refer is a conglomerate of a few different ones, but it's mainly Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 :)

mserebreny 3 years ago

yes, I recognise Rachmaninov melodicality, of course. I just didn't remember it was number 3 (2nd concerto is his most famous one) It sounds so timeless, doesn't it? Hard to imagine it's about 100 years old!!!
