Slipper Lamp
I mounted an antique lamp base on granite and used copper pipe to make the body of this lamp. The shade is glass that was fused in a ribbed mold, then slumped and manipulated in a kiln. I sandblasted the finished shade for a matte finish.

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 Charisse's Art & Music5.0We are just amazed at the quality of David’s work. From the beginning to the end he exceeded our greatest expectations and created a work of art that will be cherished for generations.
This was a project with great emotional significance for our family and David’s approach from the start assured us he understood that and every step of the way he proved it couldn’t have been in better hands.
David maintained close contact throughout the process, invited our input and even invited my daughter and her family to his studio to see the project as he was creating it. He went above and beyond every step of the way to assure it was exactly what we wanted.
I can’t recommend him highly enough and we definitely plan to utilize his amazing talent in the years to come. Thank you David! - SH

For Slumped Glass Lampshades5.0David was great with our project. His attention to detail and and pictures along the way was great. We had a complicated measurement with a swelling for the light bulb and not just a flat piece of glass being bent. He was responsive with an adjustment of one of the 3 shades did not have the same shading. I would highly recommend him for future ventures. My only problem was with the Marketplace site that was not good for my sending pictures back to him. I would love to send a picture back of the finished lamp but it won't let me post. David rescued my tragic accident breaking my modern custom lamp . He is my hero.

For Eden's Chandelier5.0Our chandelier exceeded our expectations! It was absolutely beautiful and definitely unque. It is displayed in our redeveloped sanctuary and everyone is so amazed as well as pleased.
David was truly a God sent. He paid attention to detail and handcrafted every inch of it.. He kept us informed of every step in the progress. His delivery timing was delayed due to us and not him. It was well worth the wait. Thank you David for providing the focal point in our sanctuary at Eden International Ministries in Lumberton, NC.
