Artist Talk with Josh Raiffe

Join us for a free artist talk with Brooklyn designer and glass artist Josh Raiffe. And don’t miss his free glassblowing demonstration at PGC on Friday, Nov. 7.

Raiffe is in residence at PGC October – November 2025.

Raiffe received a BFA from Tyler School of Art, during which he gained valuable experience by working at Belle Mead Hot Glass and teaching classes at the Crefeld School, UArts, Urban Glass, and Brooklyn glass. He continued to hone his skills and vision by attending classes at institutions like Pilchuck, the Bullseye Resource Center in Santa Fe and Penland School of Craft. Raiffe has also been awarded the Artist Residency at the Taoxichuan Glass Studio in Jingdezhen China.

Raiffe’s work gained massive popularity after one of his creations was featured in Coperni’s runway show during Paris Fashion Week 2022, modeled by the iconic Gigi Hadid. Many celebrities since have been spotted sporting Raiffe’s creations including Caitlyn Jenner, Kim Kardasian, and Doja Cat. Raiffe’s bags have also been on the runways of New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and Tokyo Fashion week with fashion houses like: Kate Barton, PatBo, and Bibhu just to name a few.

Many express themselves by adorning their bodies with Raiffe’s work; but others see them as still works of art and prefer to beautify their spaces with them. Raiffe embraces this duality and had been featured in multiple art galleries and museums including: R & Company, Habatat Gallery, ArtXNYC, Piece Gallery, Hawk Gallery, Montegue Gallery, Taoxichuan Glass Museum, and Gallery O.

Raiffe has also been featured in numerous publications like: New Glass Review, Talking Out your Glass, Design Milk, Elle, W Magazine, Paper Magazine, Nylon, Design Spec, i-D Magazine, Vogue, Highsnobiety and many others.
