| About the artist |
 Celebrating 40 years as a master in glass blowing,
nationally recognized Rick Strini was one of the first artists
to revive the
age-old tradition of Italian-European glass blowing, shaping brilliant
glass into objects of rare and timeless beauty. Revered as
one of the best at his craft, Strini is one of a very few people
in the world who has perfected the art of creating hand-made, shimmering
Luster Glass. His distinctive, one-of-a-kind, pieces have graced
the White House, are the treasured possessions of many celebrities,
and have been exhibited in some of the most prestigious museums,
including the De Young and Smithsonian. Working from his
private studios in Maui and Santa Cruz, Calif., he has delighted
art lovers and collectors alike with his stunning custom-designed
vases, bowls, glasses and stemware.
A product of the 1960’s revival of studio art glass, each of Strini’s
works is individually made by his own hands. There is nothing mechanical
about it. His brilliant artistry is limited only by the length of his arms. Working
with no assistants, every nuance in shape, design, color and luminescence is
derived from the heart of artist Strini.
He creates a unique hot glass color palette for each piece and personally
signs each one as it is finished in a cooling furnace. Strini is rare among
glass artists in that he controls the process from beginning to end. No
molded glass here.
Strini’s interest in glass began in the early 60’s with his first
kiln in his parent’s backyard, and years later he is still awing the world
with his unique and brilliant pieces of glass art. |
