Heikki Seppä: Master Metalsmith

BIMA is planning a retrospective of the late master metalsmith Heikki Seppa, originally from Finland, who passed away in 2010.

After decades teaching at Washington University in St. Louis, he retired and later married Bainbridge Island jewelry artist Laurie A. Lyall.

Through a major legacy gift from Lyall and other collectors, BIMA acquired over 45 signature works, including jewelry, hollowware, and decorative art, showcasing techniques Seppa taught and pioneered.
