Blown Glass Commissions by David Flower

Blown Glass Commissions by Glass Artist David Flower

Blown Glass by David FlowerDavid Flower produces one off pieces of blown glass art to commission. He says: ‘The desire to make, create, is one of the few base instincts we have left to utilize, it would therefore seem rather ignorant not to take advantage of that fact. I like playing God; it reminds me that I’m human.’

As an experienced maker David is in demand to make the work of many other glass designers. He worked closely with the celebrated Peter Layton for many years, symbiotically designing and making for the great man. Now, as ever, David finds that making the work of other artists represents his greatest challenge and Fran Staniland, Katherine Wightman and Gary Webb continue to stretch the master’s abilities.
