Mike Pope

In 2014, Michael decided to take a break from his career as a heavy equipment diesel technician and become a stay at home dad. Shortly thereafter, his life long friend Harrison Harper asked him to be his glass blowing assistant in Lisa Oakley’s glass studio at Cedar Creek Gallery. During the three years that Mike worked with Harrison, he also created his own glass pieces and refined his skills.

 Today, he is not only a glass blowing assistant to Lisa Oakley, but an artist in his own right, continuing to create and refine his own body of work
