An artist in his own right, staffer Sean Donlon makes bespoke equipment that facilitates discoveries by Big Red researchers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s note: This story was adapted from <\/em>a feature<\/em><\/a> in the <\/em>Cornell Chronicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Holly Hartigan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Sean Donlon crafts a piece of scientific glassware, he thinks about how that piece of equipment might play a role in a great discovery. Cornell\u2019s only scientific glassblower, he works with researchers who need glass instruments repaired, modified, or sometimes designed and made from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He applies craftsmanship, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of glass to support research and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying my glass work alone is going to cure cancer,\u201d he says, \u201cbut it\u2019s nice to be a part of a system where people are wanting to make a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Cornell Center for Materials Research<\/a> (CCMR), Donlon collaborates with researchers across the University, and with the general public. Glassware is important for many types of research, especially chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work isn\u2019t only with beakers, solvent bottles, and glass manifolds, though. Recently he made protective covers for cameras on a deep-sea submersible, and mosquito feeders designed to hold food for mosquitoes in the lab of Courtney Murdock, associate professor of entomology in CALS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hand-made
The mosquito feeders that Donlon made for an entomology lab\u2014seen here filled, with many hungry customers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The feeders are a crucial piece of equipment\u2014feeding captive mosquitoes that researchers use to study how climate change impacts viral load in mosquitoes carrying diseases like malaria and West Nile virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donlon didn\u2019t just replicate existing feeders; he made tweaks to the design that made them easier to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donlon collaborates with researchers across the University, and with the general public.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very inquisitive about whatever anyone\u2019s doing,\u201d says Jared Skrotzki, a technician in the Murdock Lab, \u201cand loves to try to understand why we\u2019re doing it and what we\u2019re expecting to get out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shop in the basement of S.T. Olin\u2014the chemistry building near Baker Lab\u2014Donlon heats glass objects with a hand torch that can reach temperatures over 5,000 \u00b0F as a lathe holds and spins the object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He holds a small blow tube in his mouth that helps to inflate areas of the glass, but he can still chat as he works. He has a flow, even when the glass does unexpected things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a humbling experience,\u201d says Donlon, who has been at Cornell since June 2024. \u201cYou can be a master at something, but the temperament of glass is fragile, so it can always break. It\u2019s such a physical dance with the material and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It\u2019s such a physical dance with the material and the environment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is increasingly unusual for universities to operate a glass shop with a full-time technician, according to Jon Shu, PhD \u201903, associate director of CCMR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGlassware inevitably breaks,\u201d Shu says. \u201cTo have somebody in-house who can repair something within the week is a huge difference from having to send it out for repairs, which might take a month or two. And you don\u2019t get that level of customization and improvement that Sean offers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In college, Donlon studied marine biology. During that time, he got into painting and printmaking. His mom, an artist, connected him to an artists\u2019 collective studio where he tried out glassblowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was immediately fixed on glass,\u201d Donlon says. \u201cI was just so enamored with the material from the torches, the tools, the fire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He went on to run an art studio in Richmond, VA, where he took on scientific and glass repair jobs, and taught flameworking at Virginia Commonwealth University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His scientific work informs his artistic practice<\/a>, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At his home studio, his most prolific art is a series of melty, blobby teapots. Each teapot has its own personality, and when put together they resemble a quirky community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His scientific work informs his artistic practice, and vice versa.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of his pieces\u201452 square-ish, mirrored teapots nested together in a cube\u2014is in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts\u2019 collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the teapots look free-form, the margin of error while making them can be narrower than the pieces he works on in the scientific glass shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a curve to reflect the light in just the right way or a spout to curve elegantly, he has to work even more precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting those drips and the flow of the glass to look like it\u2019s melting takes so much more work than just heating it up and hanging it down,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have to add glass and create a tiny tube and pull it just the right amount. It doesn\u2019t just flow in that nature sometimes. It really has to be forced into that aesthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, learning how to be precise enabled him to understand when he can let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was trying to make everything perfect, but then when I got there it was boring,\u201d he says. \u201c\u2018Perfect\u2019 made an item that was completely dead. I needed to add some wrinkles and freckles and imperfections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
