- Luce Artist Biography
Anthony Corradetti studied at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, where his experience in ceramics had involved often lengthy processes in making works of art. When he visited the glass studio, he was struck by how quickly a finished object could appear. The artist enrolled in a glassblowing course and began making clear forms that could then be painted. The surfaces of Corradett's works gradually become layered with overlapping colors and textures, and a flow of imagery emerges around the vessel. Ironically, his pieces can return to the oven as many as twelve times between layers of paint, taking as long to complete as his ceramics.
