Morris Cook

Coatesville, Pennsylvania

Inspired by grandfather E. Joy Morris, a late 19th century carousel maker out of Philadelphia, I created a 5-foot diameter bronze carousel. Granddad was an important founder of the American carousel industry. His last operating carousel is recognized as PTC No.6 in Kit Carson County, Burlington, Colorado. My bronze carousel animals are available individually, in groupings, or as a full carousel. Last year, the whole carousel was on exhibit for purchase. This year, patrons may purchase individual animals. I completed a BFA degree at Tyler School of Art, Temple University; Philadlphia, Pennsylvania.
