Canadian born, David Wilson has been an independent glass artist since 1986. David has a varied glass education in the South Toe region, working for neighborhood artists and washing pots at Penland as a scholarship student. In 1993, a teaching assistantship in Penland's first neon workshop with Jacob Fishman fired in him a passion for experimental neon. Since then he has participated in every neon class at Penland, forging a hybrid of rare glass plasma and hot glass sculpture. Along the way, David developed a line of fluorescent glasses for artists under the name Glo-Glass. He shows his work locally, nationally and internationally. His studio is located in Celo, North Carolina where he lives with his family.
