David Smith was introduced to the art of glass blowing while studying for a degree in Materials Science and Engineering at M.I.T. After graduating in 1983, he returned to Seattle and worked as a glass blower for four years. In 1987, he left for 5 years of travel, which included living and working with artists in Finland, Germany, France and Ireland. He returned to Seattle in 1992 and established his own studio hot shop in Ballard, Washington. His work is an extension of his technical background in glass science and his love of the traditions and history of glass blowing throughout the world.
