Cedric Mitchell Design
Cedric Major Mitchell is a Los Angeles based glass artist from Oklahoma who honed his skills while attending Tulsa Community College studying business. Learning about the glass art-form as an emerging local hip-hop artist while recording in the music studio, he immediately enrolled as an elective. As a student he quickly transitioned into into an apprentice and instructor at The Tulsa Glassblowing School.
Inspired by an eccentric mix of Graffiti Art, Pop Culture, Mid-Century Modern and Memphis Design. Cedric creates work that ranges from functional to decorative art, combining simplicity in design with bold colors to craft hand-blown vessels with a purpose.

In 2018, Cedric was awarded the opportunity to teach a Summer Intensive Workshop at Pittsburgh Glass Center. 2019 the journey continued as he taught alongside friend and mentor Joe Cariati at The Toledo Glass Museum. Cedric is also a teacher at The Los Angeles Glass Center which was formed in the Summer of 2019.
