Having grown up around Pearl River Glass Studio, Theo Cooper has been immersed in the craft his entire life. With a background in fine arts from the Mississippi School for the Arts and guidance from two working artists—his parents—Theo developed a deep appreciation for both technique and craftsmanship.

His role at PRG is ever-evolving, but in recent months, he has focused on restoring century-old stained-glass windows for a church in Rolling Fork. Passionate about preservation, he values the opportunity to restore and protect historic works of art, ensuring their beauty lasts for generations to come.

Outside the studio, Theo’s main passion is music, both in performance and recording. His love for creativity in multiple forms informs his approach to glasswork, blending technical skill with artistic intuition.
