Description

From Fire to Form tells the incredible true story of Angelo Rossi, a seventh-generation Italian craftsman and master glass artist. Born in Burano shortly after World War II, Rossi inherited the family legacy of glassmaking, which brought him from the glowing furnaces of Murano to a new life in Canada.

This is more than a biography of an artist; it's a look at an authentic artisan life story. Rossi's journey spans continents and decades, tracing his transformation from an ambitious apprentice into a world-renowned master of shimmering cranberry glass. His art was a dance of beauty, precision, and danger.

Yet, outside the glass studios, he faced profound tragedies, business betrayals, and personal loss. This book reveals the ultimate cost of devotion to art in a world increasingly focused on commerce. Discover the power of creative resilience and the life forged between fire and glass.
