IDEA Lab Workshop with Cedric Mitchell "Color Representation Matters" Tuesday, February 22, 2-3 p.m.
Cedric Major Mitchell, 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 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.
