Mad Art Studio in San Diego, California is the creation of Michael Maddy and Rina Fehrensen. Michael got his artistic start through studying ceramics at Humboldt State University, and later studied glass at Palomar College in San Marcos, California. It was there he met Rina, who had just completed her studies in Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, as well as having studied at the Pilchuck School in Seattle, the Bildwerk School of Glass in Germany, and the Haystack School of Crafts in Maine. Their original operation was a very small cottage business which they operated on the back patio of their home in Vista, California in 1997. Since then the studio has grown into a 3,500 square foot facility, with their pieces sought by collectors all over the country.
