These shades have a random ribbed texture. The outside has been sandblasted to provide light diffusion. My goal was to make them look like wet towels in the wind.

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 Slumped Glass LampshadesWhen 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 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 Karen's moulded glass base for antique globeI cannot say enough good things about David and the project he completed for us. He is AMAZING…talented, professional, a great communicator and willing to tackle tough projects. He restored a beautiful glass base for an antique globe that has been in my family from the late 1800's. He had to make several attempts and the results are fabulous. I cannot recommend him highly enough. THANK YOU DAVID!!!!
