John's Art Glass was shown at major galleries throughout the United States and museums as well.

John Cook’s BioJohn was born and raised in California. He obtained his B.F.A. at The Institute of Fine Arts in 1972 and subsequently started Phoenix Studios in 1975 with two partners - Carl Radke being one. In 1982, he sold his share of the partnership to Radke. He then opened John Cook Studios while living in Santa Barbara with his wife and children until 1990 when the Cook family moved to Gearhart, Oregon (Gearhart is a small beach town on the Oregon coast). There he converted a 1946 gas station on HWY 101 into his glass-blowing studio with an adjoining art gallery. Besides the wonderful Fish Glasses and Tiles, John specialized in lighting of all kinds - chandeliers, lamps, wall sconces and more; bowls, vases, perfume bottles, wall platters and specialty items of all shapes and sizes.John had fumed (iridized) glass since the late 60's. He made Carnival Glass by spraying a metallic solution on the glass at the end of the blow pipe. It was reheated and then annealed, making the iridescence permanent. All his work is signed "Cook" plus the year of production. Sadly, John passed away in 2013, after 45 years in the Art Glass business. Fortunately, many of Cook’s pieces can still be found today in the secondary markets.
