"Kokomojo"

Kokomojo is the nickname that was given to Joe (the company founder) by the first fire department that she belonged to. The nickname was created accidentally by the combination of two nicknames. The Deputy Chief's nickname for her was “Koko” which was the name of his favourite entertainer and the Captain nicknamed her “Mojo” the little wrapped penny candy. During a water rescue practice (SCUBA diving) the two men called out the nickname at the same time and that was the birth of Kokomojo.

The Artist

The passion for lampworking came alive when Joe (also known as Red Riot) first sat down in front of a torch – the torch was not the only thing that was ignited that day. That was it! She was hooked; an instant addict to glass. After several years of fighting fires, Joe now plays with fire to create unique glassworks.

Handmade glass art

All glassworks are handmade by Joe in the province of Alberta, Canada. Each custom-made piece is annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for durability and are thoroughly cleaned and inspected for excellence.
