Large Pretzel Glass Sculpture

David Goldhagen’s sculptural forms and massive handblown glass platters are distinguished by his unique style.  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 in excess of 2000°F. His pieces capture a palette that moves from subtle to bold by the incorporation of bits of colored glass made from various mixtures of metallic oxides and rare earth elements, such as silver, cobalt, gold, copper, dichroics and others.
