About Jennifer Bennet

Glassblowing is a choreography with improv: timing is everything. The flow of production is meditative and satisfying, keeping my whole body alert.

My designs are small batch, and constantly evolving: intentionally not amenable to factory-style production or wholesale orders. I like clean lines and an understated glow. I respect technical skill, but the imperfections and variations are also meaningful: the inspiration of a slice of time, the snapshot of human effort.

I have blown glass for nearly 30 years now. Since 2015, I have specialized in designing and building custom lighting projects for restaurants and homes in the Ottawa and Outaouais.
