David Lewin is an internationally known glass artist who creates a variety of sculptural forms and smaller pieces.

To create his sculptures, Lewin works with molten glass, which is kept at 2000 degrees F in a furnace. He begins each piece with a gather of glass on the end of a five foot long metal blowpipe, then builds layer upon layer of color and clear crystal, working from the inside outward. He shapes the molten glass using various metal tools and specially carved cherry wood "blocks".

David uses ancient glassmaking techniques, along with many of his own invention. He achieves his distinctive color combinations through use of concentrated formulations of metallic oxides such as gold, silver, cobalt and others, which He blends into the molten glass.  He melts the glass in a furnace and works it at temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. When He completes the blowing and shaping process, David removes the piece from the pipe and places it into an annealing oven, where it will cool slowly

The artist’s Bulb Shoot Series are large sculptural vessels that allude to the sprouting of bulbs. Lewin’s bulbs are rather fantastical in color and form compared to the ones found in nature. He has fun incorporating striped cane in dynamic colors for the base of the piece, or he might keep the "bulb" a solid color and use vivid multi colors for the "sprout".

Lewin also employs metallic effects, using gold and silver leaf on his beautiful Metallics Series of vases and bowls.

Lewin’s experience includes two stints teaching as an Artist in Residence in Tokyo, Japan. He is the recipient of numerous awards and grants. In 1995 he received a Mid Atlantic National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) regional grant and has twice received grants from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. He holds a BA in Painting from San Francisco State University and an MFA in Printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute.

He has served as an instructor at Cumberland County College and Glassboro State College, both in New Jersey, and at the De Young Museum Art School, San Francisco.

His work has been published in American Craft Magazine; the Corning Museum’s New Glass Review 6 (where he was one of only100 artists selected from among thousands of international applicants); and leading newspapers and television shows in Japan. His work has been shown at major galleries, museums and juried exhibitions throughout the world.
