David Walters studied at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1989-93. After graduating, he moved to Seattle to work for Dale Chihuly and many highly regarded artists in the Puget Sound area and beyond. David has been traveling teaching and demonstrating nationally and internationally for the past 18 years. His work has been included in many distinguished private collections and several museum collections. His incorporation of sound fundamental glass skills with a less than conventional approach to vessel making has enabled him to create a series of interesting and original forms on which to paint. He works mostly with characters from fairy tales and children’s stories, primarily for their familiar associations.
