Black Bird Alley
Water-jet cut and welded steel

This steel portrait is of the birds that congregate in the alley just behind the studio of Corning legend David Dowler. A long time designer for Steuben Glass, David has turned his energy in recent years to creating expressive works in steel. This elegant piece captures the clarity of his works for Steuben. A beautiful addition for your home!

A lifelong artist, David began his professional career as a designer-metalsmith before moving to Corning to join the Steuben team in 1972. His works in glass are in museums the world over and he’s had solo shows of his steel sculptures at 171 Cedar Arts and Exhibit A in Corning. He doesn’t show his work that often—this is a rare opportunity!
