Leightworks Jewelry creator David Leight

About the Artist

David Leight

David’s art career officially began after his formal training from the Pilchuck glass school, founded by Dale Chihuly, for the first time in 1999. He was one of the youngest artists to ever attend the school. There he studied the art of shaping and polishing glass. From this experience David developed a unique style of cutting crystal based on his observations of crystal and ice and strived to exemplify their characteristics and enhance light in his creations. While attending college he began showing his sculptural work in local galleries and evolving his style. In 2004 after graduation, David attended Pilchuck again and continued to improve his sculpture techniques. His style became more detailed and precise. Then, in 2004, David got his break. He was commissioned to construct a five-foot sculpture of the Google logo out of his crystalline style for co-founders' offices.
