David Lindsay is the glass artist/gaffer for Lindsay Art Glass. Born and raised in Vallejo, California, he graduated from St. Patrick High School in 1975. He apprenticed at Nourot Glass Studio beginning in 1976. Over the following six years, David advanced from apprentice to assistant glass blower to gaffer. David became proficient in all aspects of the glass production process from mixing batch to monitoring the melting process to blowing pieces to grinding pieces during the years as an employee of Nourot Glass Studio. In 1982, David became a business partner in Nourot Glass Studio. David was a partner in Nourot Glass Studio from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1997. In 1998, David and his wife, Ann Lindsay, started Lindsay Art Glass.
David's unique designs have an artistry that leaves the realm of realism and explores the abstract. Employing the technique of compound layering, David often incorporates glass murrinis, dichroic glass, gold and/or silver into his paperweights and vessels. His "beehive" paperweights were featured in the documentary film Alchemy in Light. His "Undersea Adventures" paperweights and vessels take the compound layering technique to another artistic realm.
When not creating glass, David enjoys golf and being with his family. He served on the Board of Directors for the Benicia Golf Association for three years. David is a member of the Glass Art Society, Art Benicia, Paperweight collectors Association, Chamber of Commerce, Association of clay and Glass Artists and American Crafts Council.
