David Schnuckel is an artist whose ideas pivot within and around glass, a writer who wanders through issues prompted by glass, and an educator who challenges students to solve creative problems through glass and glass-related thinking.

Various experiences of human vulnerability stimulate his studio practice and lend way to projects that examine instances of failure, compromise, risk, and obsession in thoughtfully prompted and skillfully engaged instances of wrongness. Object making, installation, drawing, print, photography, video, sound, and writing are all tools used to contemplate the lure of idealism and relish in the poetics of mishap, the flawed, and the faulty.

Schnuckel is Associate Professor of Glass and the Charlotte Mowris Fellow of the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.
