About: Artist Bryan Rubino

Bryan Rubino began blowing glass in January of 1983 for a small glass company in Washington. In 1984 he was introduced to the Venetian style of glass working. Bryan began working with other young glass blowers who were also inspired by that style of working.

In 1987, he received a scholarship to attend a class at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington. The class, which combined technique and design, focused on the Venetian style of glass blowing.

After Pilchuck, Bryan was asked to work as the Master Craftsmen in residence at the school and continued working one or two sessions a year from 1988 through 1992. Working with artists from the United States and abroad provided him the opportunity to use many different approaches using a variety of materials.

Since 1988, he has worked frequently making art glass for Dale Chihuly. When Bryan is not working on commissions or for other artists, he makes his own unique pieces.
