About

Neile Cooper is a stained glass artist, author, and instructor based in New Jersey whose work often
features fantastical representations of natural imagery and frequently incorporates found objects and
non-traditional techniques. She received a 2021 Individual Artist Fellowship from the New Jersey State
Council of the Arts. She has created large installations for Founding Farmers Restaurants in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as custom residential windows throughout the US. Her first book, Kicking Glass, A Creative Guide to Stained Glass Craft, will be published by Bloomsbury Publishing in May 2022. Neile has taught at the Touchstone Center for Crafts (PA), Peters Valley School of Craft (NJ), and Plum Nelli Retreat (WA), and does private instruction as well. Her artwork has been featured on Design*Sponge, Colossal, Martha Stewart, HouseBeautiful, My Modern Met, and in NJ Monthly
Magazine. She received her BA in Graphic Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology in
Manhattan in 1997. Neile is best known for her Stained Glass Cabin in the Woods, a small sanctuary clad
entirely in re-claimed window frames filled with her stained glass, but she also does large and small
scale custom commissions, sells stained glass, jewelry, and patterns on Etsy, interacts with core
supporters on Patreon and Instagram.
