About the Demonstrating Artist
Cedric Major Mitchell, a Los Angeles-based glass artist originally from Oklahoma, honed his skills while studying business at Tulsa Community College. He discovered studio glass as an art form while recording music in a Tulsa music studio and subsequently enrolled in a glassblowing course. Quickly transitioning from student to apprentice and instructor at The Tulsa Glassblowing School, he furthered his education under mentor Joe Cariati in Los Angeles.
Cedric’s glassblowing demonstration is supported by funding from Arts Midwest
His artistic expression draws inspiration from a captivating blend of Modern Design, Graffiti Art, Streetwear Fashion, and Memphis Milano, giving rise to a captivating array of works that span from functional masterpieces to decorative art, adorned with vivid palettes and effortlessly refined designs.
