David Bennett born in 1941 in Oregon. He has been a professional glass artist since 1991. Bennett studied the art of blown glass at Pratt Art School in Seattle, Washington; at Pilchuck School in Stanwood, Washington; and in Murano, Italy with Maestro Pino Signoretto. Bennett is best known for his blown figurative glass sculptures, created employing an ancient and little-known technique involving blowing hot glass into a metal mold. This technique was first mentioned almost 2000 years ago by Pliny the Elder, who wrote of Hebraic glassblowers blowing glass into metal forms. His large scale installations fall into the category of architectural glass and are in many private homes and public spaces.
