Jahday Ford utilises a unique combination of glassblowing and digital design to create contemporary glass objects that are a radical departure from traditional forms.

Ford’s work is characterised by an exploration of materiality. Through experimentation, he bonds two contrasting mediums, glass and digital design, to create truly bespoke pieces. Ford works with a variety of materials compatible with glass, pushing the boundaries of the art form.

“I aim to create work that’s distinctly unique, propelling multiple aspects of design and craft and native Afro-Caribbean diaspora. It’s vital to my practice to excel new contemporary synergies of glass making with the guidance of traditional methods.”
