meet the maker

Hi there!

I’m Jennifer Blair, and I’m a glass addict. I have been the artist and designer of Urban Fusions since 2007.

Each original, one of a kind glass design begins with cololured sheet glass. The fusible glass is cut into smaller pieces, stacked and layered and then fired in one of my 3 kilns to temperatures up to 1500 degrees farenheight. Some designs require multiple firings until the desired effect is reached. Once cooled, the glass is cold worked and finished using high quality findings and metals.

A recent discovery of Japanese glass seed beads has me on a vibrant journey these days, allowing me to infuse my love for energetic colour combinations into the most FUN pieces of wearable art!

All work is created by my own two hands in my home studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

If you love what you see here, I promise you’ll love them even more in person!
