Lotus Lamp by John Cook
This one-of-a-kind glass and copper lamp will provide a shining focus to any room.
Stands approximately twenty-four inches high
-- Price $545.00 (Item #JC003)
John Cook Studios creates lamps which are unique. They
use their own molds to cast the lamp base, their own dies
to stamp and coin the copper leaves. These parts are
silver soldered together, the lamp is copper plated
and their specially formulated patina is then applied.
The tubing is individually hand bent and the glass
shades are blown by hand without the use of a mold.
These methods insure each lamp is unique even among
the lamps of the same style. The Lotus Lamp is a
limited edition lamp which is signed, dated and
numbered.

Glassblowing has long been considered an elite art and this art form
is rarely offered to youth. In the Hilltop and
Northend neighborhoods of Tacoma, however, the Hilltop
Artists in Residence hot shops have captured the
attention and imagination of middle and high school
students.
Created in 1994 in partnership with Tacoma Public
Schools, Hilltop Artists provides a daily program of
arts instruction, academics, tutoring, and mentoring.
Drawn in by the excitement and danger of 2000 degree
glass, students, ages 12-20, must also be enrolled or
re-enrolled in a certified school program.
Master glass artist Dale Chihuly frequently works with
Hilltop students to teach the skills of this
breathtakingly beautiful art form. Glass blowing
and glass arts in combination with academic support
build on the creative and social strengths of youth. Students become contributing citizens, recognized as assets to their community.
