Artist Bio
JOSEPH D. SACCIO, SCULPTOR
RÉSUMÉ, 11/23/10 I am largely self-taught but have learned techniques at various places including the Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, Ct. in the 1960's and '70's, especially with metal sculptor Ann Lehman. I also participated in a sculpture workshop with sculptor Stan Bliefeld in Westport, Ct.. From 1979 through 1982 during four summer vacations in Italy I observed and informally studied marble carving and bronze casting in the cities of Lucca and Pietrasanta.
