Slumped Glass Lampshade
This shade uses a streaky beige glass fused to a white glass. The white glass acts as a diffuser, making the bulb less obvious.

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 dining room light fixture4.7The shipping delay was the post office's fault, not David's. He kept in touch and communicated almost daily with the post office. The lamp did arrive safely, just much later than we expected. David was wonderful to work with. He answered all my questions and worked very hard to give us just what we wanted, and he did. We are very happy with the result. He does fine work.

For Blown Glass Sphere Chandelier5.0I am so happy with the chandelier David has made for me! He has been so helpful and professional. I had initially thought I wanted to design all of it myself, but quickly realized how complicated that would be, so without hesitation David came us with an AMAZING design and kept me updated every step of the way. The chandelier is so pretty and way more affordable than I thought it would be! I highly recommend him.

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 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.
