Glass art is a truly magnificent art form, and it has the power to bring all sorts of amazing creatures to life. No one knows this better than David White, who decided to use his glass art to take us millenniums back into the past, to the time when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth.
David White fell in love with glass art during his time at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. This art form came into his life by a happy accident, after he took a glassblowing class to fulfill the art credit requirement.
“After the first glass class, I made sure to include as much glass as my course schedule would fit. After four years of learning to work with the most fickle and beautiful art form in the world, I wanted glass to remain part of my life,” he wrote on his official website.
White’s adventure with glass art continued while he worked as an apprentice for the New Orleans glassblowing icon Andrew Jackson Pollack. He was introduced to flameworking during this time, and this technique eventually became the cornerstone of his artistic process. It helped him craft some of the most stunning dinosaur skeleton sculptures that you’ll ever come across, made entirely of glass.
