Hi. I’m Jennifer Blair and I’m a glass addict.
I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist, specializing in fused glass designs. I discovered glasswork during a difficult time and was immediately drawn to its beauty and process. The act of cutting, layering, and fusing glass became both a creative outlet and a source of healing - one that continues to shape my artistic journey today.
Inspired by ordinary moments and the play between colour, my work reflects a love for vibrant, obscure colour combinations and organic textures. Each tiny, wearable art piece is thoughtfully crafted to bring joy and colour to everyday life for years to come.
Rooted in slow, intentional living, I find joy in exploring new places, my backyard garden and embracing the rhythm of the water - whether that be paddleboarding local waters, cold dipping in the ocean or sharing beachside dinners with loved ones or simply working on jewellery designs anywhere outdoors. I feel incredibly grateful to have landed in such a beautiful part of the world to work, play and raise a family.
All work is created by my own two hands in my home studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Each original, one of a kind design begins with fusible, coloured sheet glass. The glass is hand cut into smaller pieces, meticulously stacked and layered and ultimately fired in one of my 3 kilns to temperatures up to 1500°F. Designs often require multiple firings until the desired effect is reached. Once cooled, the glass is cold worked by hand and finished using high quality findings and metals.
