Jan Benda
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. Driven by passion, it did not take long for him to be named a Master Glassblower. In 1983, Jan immigrated to Canada with his family. Four years later, he fulfilled his dream by opening a glassblowing studio named Krystyna Glass Ltd. with his wife Krystyna. 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. Jan’s unique and exquisite pieces are sold and collected in Canada and worldwide. He never uses molds, which he considers limiting, and he takes pride in the fact that every piece he creates is original, shows no signs of tool marks, and is polished and then etched with his signature.
