   John Pomp

   Jan 1999 — Present · Philadelphia, PA, US

   The son of a carpenter, John grew up being surrounded by beautiful things made by his father. While attending Columbus College of Art and Design, he reluctantly registered for a glassblowing class upon the guidance of his highschool art teacher, mentor, and lifelong friend. Within moments, he knew that’s what he was going to do for the rest of his life, reminding him of the creative actions and flow states he experienced while skateboarding and action painting. This passion for molten glass and love for the fire has been a driving inspiration through his thirty years mastering the art of glassblowing. Since John has grown his multi-disciplinary studio to a crew of over forty reatives that help him make his lighting, furniture, and sculptural objects. More recently through surfing, John has discovered a love for the ocean, which has brought him full circle to that first encounter with molten glass. He is now creating bodies of work inspired by the fluidity of both fire and water and finding their place in the universe - as well as his own.
