Emily Cook (E.L.U Cook) 

Glasswork fused with sand

Emily is a Maryland native who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Delaware. What began as a passion for creating has evolved into a thriving business centered on handcrafted jewelry, artwork, home décor, and one-of-a-kind custom pieces.

Inspired by the vibrant colors and clean lines of glass, Emily is constantly exploring innovative techniques and designs. After years of experimentation, she developed a unique process that incorporates sand collected from meaningful locations into her work, creating pieces that allow clients to carry a tangible connection to their favorite places.

Each piece is handcrafted in fused glass in Emily’s studio in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The process involves multiple kiln firings at temperatures reaching 1,500 degrees, with additional grinding and sandblasting between firings to achieve the desired finish. Emily also enjoys blending glass with complementary materials such as wood and concrete, creating distinctive works that balance artistry, craftsmanship, and personal meaning.
