Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Fused glass work is my primary focus, but I also work in leaded stained glass, found object sculpture, large abstract watercolors, and acrylic painting. I use glass to make custom lighting fixtures and chandeliers. Most of my material is scrap recycled from local leaded glass businesses. Musical themes predominate, but I am open to other imagery. I am able to incorporate text and personal photographs into my custom work.
In addition to glass, I make custom or reproduction lead castings for use with leaded glass panels.

For John Hurd's Ceiling Light5.0David was a great help on this project. He suggested design options, made up samples so I could see the the shape of the product and kept me up to date every step of the way. In the end we received a beautiful glass light for our kitchen that exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend David for your project.

For glass table top5.0David was absolutely great to work with. He took my idea and guided it into something way better! The quality of the work is amazing. He was always making suggestions and giving ideas but made sure it was just what I wanted. David sent me tons of photos as we went along. It was really a fun and exciting experience and I know he worked his tail off to make this table really special. There is no doubt I will be using him again very shortly for other projects. This guy is a true artist, and a great person. Shipped item with great care. A true Professional.

For Shower Scene4.8David made 2 panels for us and he was such a pleasure to work with. He gave us plenty of choices and we felt since he is the artist, he would have a good eye for what looks right and he did. We needed specific sizes and sent 2 pics of what we wanted and adjusted the proportions and size to fit perfectly.
Both panels came out perfect and we are very happy with them. Unfortunately, they were shipped by UPS (we have seen UPS delivery people throw packages in the past) and sure enough our 2 panels came with slightly broken glass but David took full responsibility, contacted a local craftsmen and had him pick them up for the repairs, sent him the particular glass he needed. No complaints about anything. We will deffinately use David again for our next project.Thank you David L. Zvanut. You are a true artist and have made us very happy.

For Slumped Glass Lampshades5.0When I broke my glass lampshade I was devastated. Glad it was me but not my grandchildren. Did not think this design could ever be replaced. Mr. Zvanut was able to melt it and recreate-he is a true artist. The project was swift and thorough. I received regular communication and pictures along the way. I would highly recommend him for any glass projects. Thank you David!

For Randy's Custom Bottle Cap Art Piece (2nd Phase)5.0Working with David was a 5 star experience. While he had never worked in the medium I requested, he figured it out and the final product came out as expected. David communicated often and clearly during the entirety of the project. David arrived at my site and installed the piece as expected and on time.
