Famed artist and craftsman Lino Tagliapietra is widely held as the greatest master glassblower to ever live. After a storied 77 year career, he is finally facing retirement. He is not just a glassblower; he is the glass. Born in 1934 in Murano, Italy, Lino started working in the glass factories at 11 years old. But as his body slows down and retirement looms, he takes one last opportunity to blow glass with members of his original team. In an epic, four hour hot shop session, Lino pulls off a feat of someone half his age and his team celebrates their love for glass, each other, and the man who taught them everything they know.
