Slumped Glass Lampshades
These two shades were made by fusing amber streaky glass to white glass, and then slumping them over a mold. I try to make my shades with irregular edges to suggest a washrag hanging on a clothesline in a breeze. Each shade is unique and designed to fit the clients lamp.

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.

John Hurd Hurd
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.

Savanna Mayhook
For Savanna's Chandelier5.0Working 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!

For Slumped Glass Lampshades5.0We are delighted with the two custom glass slumped shades that David made us. They were to replace two that were broken and look wonderful.
David was easy to work with and communicated every step of the process providing photos and updated information.
All in all it was a positive experience. Thank you for our lovely shades!
