Robert Mickelsen
American
Robert Mickelsen has been a flameworker for more than 42 years. He founded Mickelsen Studios, Inc. in 1989 when it was still a tiny enterprise in a 200 sq. ft. room in the back of his garage. Although he has had periodic studio assistants throughout his career, Robert has always worked alone. But that has recently changed. Mickelsen Studios has become a family affair! There are now five of us – four flameworkers and one office manager, making a variety of products in addition to Robert’s solo artistic work. We all live and work together at our home and studio in Ocala, Florida.
