About
Jessica Tsai is a Taiwanese-American glassblower based in Philadelphia. She sculpts in a 3000 degree flame with borosilicate glass to create highly detailed sculptures, jewelry, and pipes that combine realism with design, function, and whimsy. Each one-of-a-kind piece is a labor of love, prioritizing originality and craftsmanship. She draws inspiration from the quiet wonders of the natural world — especially those the eye might miss. Her work is a study of the fragility and transience of life, rendered in glass.

She has exhibited work in the US and internationally, and has been featured in New Glass Review 44. Jessica has taught flameworking at UrbanGlass, Salem Community College, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and Snow Farm Craft. She has demoed at the 2023 Glass Art Society Conference and 2023 International Flameworking Conference.
