Minhi Su England from Blown Away Season 3 owns a glass-blowing studio with her friend

Currently residing in Seattle, Washington, Minhi Su England owns a glass-blowing studio named Liquid Lush Studio with her friend Bri Chesler. The two friends create strange but beautiful glass-blown pieces that can be sold as gifts.

In September 2021, Minhi married her boyfriend of ten years, Jesse England, in a pandemic wedding. When it came to taking her husband’s family name, her immediate reaction was to not participate in the tradition because she thought that her identity might get overshadowed in the process. However, she eventually rebranded her creations as Minhi Su England.

She also shared a post on Instagram describing the circumstances of her wedding day in vivid detail:

"This change was a big step for me. It represents a marker for setting aside my ego and pride in order to acknowledge the remarkable impact Jesse has made in my life, both creatively and as a companion. I am not interested in making this change for traditional reasons. Rather, I hope to recognize his significance and carry that with me for the rest of my life."

However, Minhi’s life took an unexpected turn when she lost her husband to cancer only nine months after getting married.

The glass artist chose to organize Jesse’s memorial at Pilchuck Glass School where she had met him in 2012. Along with her brother-in-law Ken England, Minhi chose to sing Cosmic Dancer at Pilchuck as it held a very fond memory of her husband. Jesse had sung this song to Minhi in 2012 when he came to meet her in her cabin at Pilchuck.

Moreover, Minhi expressed gratitude to the school for allowing her to hold the funeral at a place that mattered greatly to both of them.

She is very connected to her professional community and happens to collaborate with them often to create glass-blowing masterpieces.
