Venetian Glassmaker, Italy, 1994

"'It's alchemy,' says artist Laura de Santillana of the fluid magic of glass. Working with maestros like Lino Tagliapietra, Venetian artisans keep the city's luminous glassmaking heritage alive."

—From "Venice: More Than a Dream," February 1995, National Geographic magazine
