Emilio Santini is originally from Murano, Italy, and comes from a family with centuries of tradition in glass blowing. His glass work spans from lamp-working to glass blowing, from casting to diamond point engraving. He has taught primarily torch-working in all the major glass schools in the USA and at Virginia Commonwealth University and his work is held in the collections of many museums around the world.
