DAVID LOTTON (ILLINOIS)
DAVID LOTTON
Direct from the artist's imagination,
each piece of David Lotton's Glass is
a new creation. Each one is an individual masterpiece of form and design.
The
end result is a piece of one man's vision combined with his exquisite
technique. David's work is alive with elegance
and beauty. Unlike many other artist's studios, we encourage you to
visit
David's studio to experience the
creative process in full swing. Imagine
a fiery furnace called a "glory hole"
and a piece of molten glass on a rod
called a "punty". |
With a steady rhythm of movement the artist heats the glass and removes
the glowing mass to his bench to shape it into it's shimmering finish.
Onlookers are fascinated as the artists piece takes
on its shape. |
Watching David work with his kaleidoscope of colors is
an experience unlike any other. David is unique in that he has
developed his own formulas for each color. From his
vibrant orange sunset, to his luminous neodymium lavender. Each hue
is his own distinctive creation, mixed from scratch. After a days worth
of pieces are created, they are annealed overnight. The next morning the
glass is cool,
David inspects his work close up.
Next, the bottoms are finished in the polishing shop. |
Only after David has personally seen the piece transform from the molten
stage to the finished product does he sign and date each piece.
