Six Sided Leaded Glass Chandelier With Bottom Diffuser
The client specified brushed nickel hardware, the rough size, number of lights, and the colored glass. I worked up a cardboard model that the client approved. After the light was built, the client decided the glass was too transparent. I then sandblasted the inside of the fixture to cause more light diffusion, and made a bottom cover of double gluechip glass.

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.

Jul 30, 2019Working 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!
