Robert Dane relates his study of Afro-Cuban percussion and his love for jazz improvisation to the “dance” he does with assistants in his glass-making studio. “We all have to respond to each other’s movements, timing, and actions to create the finished piece.” Tutti Frutti, which is Italian for “all fruits,” is an appropriate title for this series of goblets, which incorporate a rainbow of vibrant colors, from strawberry reds to blueberry and grape. These functional goblets are slightly heavier than their thin-walled and highly delicate Venetian counterparts.
