Ein Mann der seine Leidenschaft zum Glas in Kunst mit dem selbigen zum Ausdruck bringt. Ich mag die semi-professionellen Dokumentationen über das, was da irgendwann mal goldenen Boden gehabt haben sollte: Das Handwerk. Außerdem finde ich, dass jegliches Handwerk einen sehr ehrenwerten Stellenwert haben sollte, aber die Leute bashen viel zu gerne. Mit Vorliebe die „Handwerker“. Sollen sie sich doch mal ihre Heizkörper alleine an die Wand zimmern.

David A Smith is a name that has become synonymous in Sign-Writing and Glass gilding circles, with high quality, hand crafted reverse glass signs and decorative silvered and gilded mirrors.

In this short documentary, we reveal behind the scenes work, techniques and visions that Dave uses when carrying out his passion as a glass embosser – One of the few remaining traditional UK glass artists.
