SEEGERS AND FEIN GLASS

RICHARD SEEGERS & DONNA FEIN

Seegers and Fein Glass is the union of husband and wife, Richard Seegers and Donna Fein, their ideas and interests. Since 1986 they have been combining traditional and innovative glassblowing techniques to produce unique, exciting works in glass in their studio in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.

Donna's experience with hot glass began in 1972 with courses at craft schools, which led to her working for several other glassblowers over the next ten years. Her enthusiasm for the medium rubbed off on Rich, who she encouraged and taught the craft. Rich's background as a biochemical researcher has been invaluable asset both to building their studio and in formulating uniquely colored glasses, made by dissolving varying quantities of metal oxides into each glass melt.
