David Frederick has been a glass blower for over 20 years; pulling inspiration from the waters of his childhood in Hawaii as well as his current home in the lower Cascades of Oregon.

As a lampworker, the heat for melting glass comes from a flame that is upwards of 3,000 degrees. He uses simple tools specific to glass blowing, like a claw grabber, in addition to common tools like craftsman pliers, as well as several tools crafted from graphite, to make all of his glass creations.

David specializes in dichroic glass. A material originally designed for the windows of space shuttles but is used in this application to create something colorful and artistic.

You can find all of these pieces here on this website, to bring this beauty into your own life.
