February 4, 2021 Page 7 Joe Cariati from front page pipe. At this point, most mass manufacturer’s process stops. This goes into a mold, and it is produced to scale. Cariati takes the next step. His glass is not mold-blown. It is free-blown, meaning it can’t be replicated or copied by being blown into a mold. He then transfers the bubble onto another rod called a punty, which holds the glass from the bottom so that he can mold the top of the vessel, be it a long neck or a folded down lip. Cariati also distinguishes himself as a designer/maker in production style, not a glass artist. As he explains, glass blowing has largely always been about production. Say, for example, a high powered citizen commissions a glass design for their dinnerware in Europe in the 16th century. The glass blower creates a design, and the client asks for one hundred. The glass blower’s job is then to make one hundred of the same piece, using their knowledge, muscle memory, and skill. Glass artists appeared around the 1960s and 70s as ceramic artists began experimenting and subsequently teaching. Eventually, Pilchuck Glass School was opened in Seattle, known as one of the pinnacle schools for anyone in the glass community. After the creation of Pilchuck, students were on to making bigger furnaces and traveling the world to discover how glass is made and designed in different countries. his story starts with creative parents. “There’s definitely some lineage of making things in the family and making things in three dimensions,” he says. His father worked with tools, his grandfather was a carpenter, and his mother taught art and sculpting. Despite this, he was never pushed into the craft, though for the most part, he was “living [his] world in three dimensions.” In 1992, he went to San Francisco State University, where he saw someone blowing glass, and decided to try it. Shortly after, he was traveling and teaching with his professor. In 2005, he moved back down to LA, got a studio, and began teaching at Cal State Fullerton. “Before that, I didn’t think I wanted to be an artist. I didn’t really know what that meant,” says Cariati. In the five years he was teaching, he began making his line of bottles secretly in the background. Finally, he did a trade show in 2007 that changed everything. Businesses were hot on his work and beautiful designs, and major retailers connected with him. Suddenly his work was in high demand, but he continued to make each and every piece in his studio and conduct his quality control. “My QC is insane. We never get returns. We never get complaints,” he explains, detailing his high level of work and end product. Through conferences, classes, and showcases, those truly dedicated to glass get to know every name in the business. Cariati has traveled the world and worked with famous glass blowers all over the globe. He knows all the history, all the steps, and all the players. These days, things have slowed a little in the midst of the pandemic, but he remains in his studio, continuing to craft his products. Lino Tagliapietra, he explains, is 86, one of the remaining best on the planet, and is still blowing glass. “If I don’t blow glass for four or five days, I go stir crazy that I’m not making anything…I think I’ll always be a maker and a glass blower.” Creation fuels Cariati, and though he hopes to one day bring education and nonprofit work back into his life, we can be certain we’ll see him in his studio right here in the South Bay. • Cariati blows in the Venetian style, which is free-blown on a workbench, very clear, clean, thin, and precise. At one time, Italy was the world leader in glass craft, having created the first clear glass, and they made it illegal for masters to reveal their secrets to any foreign country, lest they incur the death sentence. Other countries would try and steal the Italian Joe Cariati at work in his studio. masters, and some of them defected to other countries, where they went into hiding. In 1976, an Italian master named Lino came to the United States to teach his work. Glass blowing, as Cariati describes it, is a kind of niche community in which everyone knows everyone, and familiar faces can be seen at most events.
