Patterns of cane and murrine picked up on a bubble of molten glass.

David Patchen is American glass artist who uses the Italian techniques of cane and murrine in an American style. (Cane are colored and patterned glass rods, murrine are patterned cross-sections of glass 'tiles'.) Patchen's work is known [1] primarily for a combination of complexity and scale in patterned work. His work is in various private collections internationally, featured in many publications and juried shows such as SOFA (Sculpture, Objects and Functional Art), Chicago. His work is shown in galleries in the U.S., Canada and Europe.[2] Patchen was awarded an artist residency in 2010 in Seto City, Japan where his visit was covered by the local media and included lectures, demonstrations and a show of his work at the Seto City Art Museum.[3]

Born in New Rochelle, New York, Patchen resides in San Francisco, California. He studied at Public Glass in San Francisco, at the studio of Afro Celotto, maestro and former assistant to Lino Tagliapietra in Murano, Italy, and was awarded an artistic merit scholarship to the Pilchuck Glass School. He has assisted several artists including Afro Celotto and Marvin Lipofsky in creating their work.[2]
