Rene Steinke

Rene’ Steinke started apprenticing as a glass blower at the age of 17. Under the demanding guidance of an accomplished artisan, he learned the discipline necessary to be comfortable in a medium that has little room for error. Rene’ also studied at the prestigious Corning School of Glass in Corning, N.Y. There he studied under a number of master glass blowers, such as William Gudenrath, and expanded his horizons. Later, he participated in a glass blowing workshop and annual competition at the Eugene School of Glass in Oregon – a community known as a center for education and production of hot and soft glass. While continuing to seize any opportunity to blow glass and refine his skills, Rene’ also practiced flame working. He quickly moved from simple pieces to more complex works that demand the artist sculpt and manipulate hot glass to create intricate pieces. His passion, however, remains working in the glass blowing studio where he pushes boundaries and welcomes challenging new techniques that take his work to the next level.
