Hans Godo Frabel's Gallery

Posted by HansGodoFrabel on 10/24/2006

Hans Godo Frabel (b. 1941 in Jena, East Germany) is one of the very first lampwork glass artists in the world, who turned the technique of "working at the lamp" to an art form back in 1968, when he opened the Frabel Studio in Atlanta, Georgia. At that time crystal glass was not considered a serious art medium and few artists were utilizing the beauty and diversity of glass to create unique art pieces.

Hans Godo Frabel

Hans Godo Frabel was the third child in a family with four children. The tumultuous political climate in existence after WWII necessitated a family migration to West Germany. After living in several different cities, Frabel began to look at glass as a means to a career at the age of only 15. He obtained a traineeship as a scientific glassblower at the prestigious Jena Glaswerke in Mainz, West Germany, and earned the degree of journeyman in 1959.

In 1965 he came to the United States and settled in Atlanta. There he obtained a position at the Georgia Institute of Technology in their scientific glass blowing laboratory. During this time he continued his studies of glass as an art form at Emory University and Georgia State. He continued to work at Georgia Tech for two more years until budget cutbacks eliminated his position in 1967.

While working at Georgia Tech, Frabel’s creative talents were often sought after by professors and acquaintances alike to create crystal glass sculptures as gifts for friend
