Josh Raiffe is a Brooklyn-based glass artist and designer celebrated for his hand-blown glass handbags that sit at the intersection of sculpture, fashion, and performance. Drawing on a lineage of artists and makers in his family, Raiffe transforms molten glass into objects that feel both intimate and futuristic, turning something as familiar as a handbag into a luminous, wearable artwork.

After studying sculpture at the Tyler School of Art, he was drawn to the immediacy and physicality of hot glass, developing a practice that balances precision, experimentation, and play. His glass bags and sculptural works have appeared on international runways and in galleries, capturing global attention for their bold silhouettes, razor-sharp detailing, and almost impossible sense of delicacy and strength.

Raiffe’s work challenges traditional boundaries between fine art and design, inviting viewers to imagine objects not just as accessories, but as heirlooms, artifacts, and extensions of the body and self-expression.
