Glass Ltd. is a small glass blowing studio located on the beautiful
shores of the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. It was
opened in 1987 by Jan Benda and his wife, Krystyna. At this time
Jan was already a master in his profession. Jan graduated in 1969
from the Technical Glass Blowing Institute in the Czech Republic
with a Journeyman Diploma. For the next fifteen years, he worked
to improve his skill with the best glass masters in the Czech Republic.
In
his own studio, Jan, who is assisted by Krystyna, combines his technical
skills with his artistic creativity to develop and perfect his own
style: glass that is simple, elegant and contemporary. Each piece
is his original design, and is created free hand, without a mold.
All pieces are signed by Jan Benda and carefully inspected to ensure
high quality workmanship.
