David Goldhagen

North Carolina artist David Goldhagen is known for creating unique sculptural forms and massive hand-blown glass platters. His painterly approach to art glass marries bold colors to brilliant, clear crystal in a clean, modern style.
Using traditional glassblowing methods thousands of years old, David Goldhagen creates each piece individually, working with molten glass at temperatures more than 2000°F. His pieces capture a palette that moves from subtle to bold by incorporating bits of colored glass made from various mixtures of metallic oxides and rare earth elements, such as silver, cobalt, gold, copper, and dichroics.
