Dante Marioni

Dante is a master of Italian forms and techniques, including reticello and cane work, which are favorite techniques of our Team Production students. His amphoras, vases, and ewers are derived from Greek and Etruscan prototypes, yet they are imaginatively and sometimes whimsically reinterpreted. His impossibly elongated, sinuous shapes are made with bright and saturated contrasting colors.
