Masterful and breathtaking, this colorful vessel from David Patchen is composed of tens of thousands of fine threads of glass in intricate patterns and windows. Patchen has innovated on the technique of murrine to create his complex and vibrant works. Created over many weeks, Patchen stretches colored glass into long rods, later heating them back up to fuse them into patterns. Weeks later Patchen cuts the patterns to size, then spends days carefully composing hundreds of these patterned elements (murrine) into a mosaic. After fusing them together to construct a glass bubble, Patchen then creates his works. As with all of Patchen's works, this Foglio is double-encased in clear glass for great depth and optics, with flared foot for stability.

David Patchen is internationally known for his colorful and intricate blown and hot-sculpted glass created with meticulous craftsmanship and detail. His mastery of the murrine and cane patterning techniques and use of vibrant colors results in large-scale work that is exciting and precise. For two decades David's creative energies primarily found an outlet in music, but a blowpipe and furnace have replaced his guitar and amp. A former corporate marketing professional, a glassblowing class in 2001 ignited such a passion that he transitioned his career from technology to full-time glass artist. David's work is shown internationally at galleries and shows including SOFA Chicago, ART Shanghai and COLLECT London. David has been guest artist at the Corning Museum of Glass, Artist in Residence in Seto City, Japan and demonstrated at multiple times at the Glass Art Society's annual conferences. Primarily self-taught, David grew his skills through experimentation informed by observing local artists and a few brief visits with Afro Celotto, maestro and former assistant to Lino Tagliapietra from Murano, Italy. His book David Patchen, Glass is in the permanent collection of the Rakow Library at the Corning Museum of Glass and the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Centro Studi del Vetro (Glass Study Center Library) in Venice, Italy. 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 formerly on the Pilchuck Leadership Council and Board of Directors, Glass Alliance of Northern California. David maintains a private studio within Public Glass where he creates his work. He enjoys and finds inspiration in international travel, the marine environment, science, nature and architecture. David's work is in numerous private collections, museums and is exhibited internationally. Born and raised in New York, David Patchen now resides in the San Francisco Bay area.
