Visiting Artist John Kiley

The second Visiting Artist of Lino Tagliapietra Celebration Week is John Kiley, in the Hot Shop Thursday, January 21!

One of the most exciting glass sculptors working today, John Kiley often appears to defy gravity and transcend boundaries with his masterful use of color and transparency — refracting light through spherical forms, towering structures, and shattered blocks.

His exploration of relationships between chaos and order and strength and fragility imbue each piece with a delicate sense of balance. Kiley’s glassblowing career has included working closely with master artists like Dale Chihuly, Dante Marioni, and Benjamin Moore, in addition to serving as a principal team member with Lino Tagliapietra for 16 years.

His eagerness to experiment with scale, materials, and techniques has earned him widespread acclaim and recognition, with his work featured in galleries, museums, and public spaces worldwide.
