Rene Steinke
Artist Bio
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 attended a seminar at the prestigious Corning School of Glass in Corning, N.Y. There he studied under a number of master glass blowers and expanded his horizons. Later, he participated in a glass blowing workshop 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’ started to practice the flame working technique. He quickly moved from simple pieces to more complex works that demand the artist sculpt and manipulate hot glass to create intricate pieces.
Along with working in glass, Rene’ enjoys teaching the craft to others. He has done hot glass blowing demonstrations at the California State Fair and elsewhere. Currently, he is a member of the educational team at Rainbow Glass in Sacramento and is pleased to be teaching classes. |
