"Exquisite", "Unique" and "Dramatic "are some of the adjectives used to describe Tina Cooper's glass sculptures. One of the leading figures in Australian Studio glass, she uses Nature - Earth, Fire, Water and Air - to create her art, reflecting her passionate relationship with the environment from which she sources her inspiration.

Tina Cooper began her journey into the amazing world of glass blowing when she met Mark Galton. Mark was an accomplished glass blower in his own right and he shared his knowledge with Tina over the years that they were together. She began her apprenticeship in 1990 and has developed her skills in leaps and bounds since then. Today she is recognised as one of the leading glass artists in the world.

The Tina Cooper Gallery at the top end of town in Eumundi was proud to host the TV crew from Channel 10’s “Totally Wild” programme. They approached Tina to do a story about glass blowing which is her passion in life and she felt very privileged to be able to share this passion with their many viewers.

One of the Galleries that sells Tina's work, Boondi Aboriginal Art Gallery in Bondi beach NSW, has advised us that they have sold a Sunrise Vase with embellishment added by Peter Mulcahy (Didge Player Scene) to the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Timbalan Perdana Menteri. The vase will be on display in their Embassy or in the Parliament of Malaysia.

We now have uploaded a video that was taken on the night of the Save The Glass Blowing Studio in Yandina event.

Tina Cooper and celebrated Artist, Donald James Waters have joined forces to create an amazing new dimension in 3 dimensional Art.Tina creates her beautiful glass vessels and, in this case, her Sunrise Series, ready for them to be taken to another dimension with the handiwork and artistry of Donald James Waters brushes.
