"David Patchen creates art glass that explores pattern, color, and transparency through the use of multi-layered cane and murrine. Each piece is begun by meticulously planning color combinations and patterns. To create the intricate stripes and patterns for which his work is known, Patchen first has to create the necessary cane and murrine by layering multiple colors and stretching hot glass into rods. Patchen then cuts and arranges the rods to design the final work, a process that can take days. The compositions are fused and wrapped around a bubble of liquid glass to begin the blowing process." - The Artful Home
