Description

David is a glass artist who works as a chairman for glass arts communities. For two decades David’s creative energies primarily found an outlet in music, but a blowpipe and a glass furnace has firmly replaced his guitar.

David has studied at the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School, founded by Dale Chihuly and John and Anne Hauberg in Stanwood, Washington. In 2010, David was invited to Seto City, Japan as Artist in Residence, spending a month lecturing, demonstrating and making work through an award from the Seto City Art and Cultural Foundation.  Early in his career, he learned through a wide range of talented local artists combined with a great deal of experimentation and visits with Afro Celotto, maestro and former assistant to Lino Tagliapietra in Murano, Italy. David has received awards for his work including an artistic merit scholarship for his studies at Pilchuck.

David is actively involved in the glass arts community as Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Directors at Public Glass (San Francisco’s center for glass art) and former member of the Board of Directors, Glass Alliance of Northern California. David maintains a private studio within Public Glass where he creates his work and occasionally instructs. He enjoys and finds inspiration in international travel, SCUBA diving, photography, architecture, science and nature.

Born and raised in New York, David Patchen now resides in San Francisco. David’s work is known for its intense colors, intricate detail and meticulous craftsmanship, is in numerous private collections and exhibited in select galleries in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
