Christopher John studied Art and Design at Prahran College of Advanced Education in the late 70's, followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in glass painting at Chisholm Institute under the supervision of Klaus Zimmer.

In 1989 he established his first glass practice Sacred Art Studios, working primarily in ecclesiastic stained glass.

Christopher now operates out of his glass studio on the Sunshine Coast Queensland under the new banner, Red Phoenix Glass and he continues to have a strong working relationship with architects and clients in Melbourne.


His recent work for a private residence in South Yarra features an innovative use of clear float glass in the new Designer Glass Block for the front facade.
