A client asked me to reproduce a stained glass suncatcher that was an emblem for a hotel he remembered from his youth. The hotel held special meaning for his parents, and he wanted to present the piece to them as a gift. The client supplied me with a small photo of the actual logo
A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
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 Hotel emblem ProjectImpeccable craftsmanship and exactly what I had asked/hoped for. Communication was continuous and David provided pictures of the project in the making. He asked me my opinion on key aspects of the project and the end results was stunning. If I ever have another project like this I would contact David without hesitation. Great work and thank you so much David.

For Slumped Glass LampshadeMy cat knocked over and broke a lamp that had two glass lampshades. The lampshades are unique and I searched for months for a replacement. I stumbled upon David's glass art and was so happy I found him! David's communication is exceptional. I really enjoyed the process from start to finish. I'm thrilled with how my lampshades turned out. They look better than the originals.

For Savanna's ChandelierWorking with David was an absolute pleasure. He took the time early on to really understand my vision, and made working with him so easy. His constant communication at every step of the way kept us completely involved and allowed us to take control of the project from a distance. He definitely went above and beyond personally driving our piece to Florida for delivery (from Texas!) and has left us with nothing but great things to say about him.
I'm already trying to dream up new projects just so we can work with him again and have more than one David Zvanut original in our home!
