David Thai’s work balances technique and concept. His focus is both on the creation of a timeless design with a contemporary style and a high level of technical skill. The artist aims toward creating objects that beautify their surroundings. In his “Atlas Series” the Japanese silver leaf on the surface of the vessel represents the surface of imaginary planets. The shape of the vessel is fashioned after one of the four parts of the star maps of the Constellations.

Thai is a Canadian glass artist who completed his business degree at Ryerson University and went on to pursue glassblowing at Sheridan College. He is currently an instructor and blows glass full time. The artist has exhibited his work across Canada and in the United States.
