Hayden MacRae

“To me, glassblowing is like a dance between the mind and body. Every step of the process requires precision and focus, yet there’s this wonderful fluidity to it. Things can take unexpected turns, but that’s all part of the magic. It’s almost meditative, being fully immersed in the present moment.”

Biography
  • Hayden MacRae

Meet Hayden MacRae, who believes that passion finds its way into our lives in the most unexpected ways.

For him, it all started with his grandma Betty reading him a Rupert the Bear story when he was just a young lad. Little did Hayden know that Rupert’s adventure at a glass factory would ignite within him, a lifelong fascination with glassblowing.

Hayden’s everlasting journey into the world of glass was set in motion upon attending his very first workshop at the tender age of 13, followed by the countless hours honing his craft in local studios.

As he reflects on his journey over the past two decades, his passion for his craft only continues to grow. With every piece he creates, he aims to share a little bit of beauty and joy with the world—a sentiment that shines through in every delicate detail.

Says the artist: “In my work, you’ll often find echoes of the landscapes that have inspired me, like the breathtaking beauty of southern Utah, or perhaps a hint of the dynamic energy found in video games, where colour takes center stage. And of course, there’s always a touch of the classic Italian colour stacking technique, Incalmo, that he’s come to love.

Hayden’s original glass creations can be found enhancing spaces throughout Canada, the United States, England, and France. Each piece, a testament to his imagination and skill, breathes life with its vibrant colors, graceful movements, and captivating textures.
