John Paul Cooper (3 October 1869[1] – 3 May 1933[2]) was a British architect and a leading craftsman in the Arts and Crafts Movement, specialising in metalwork and jewellery.
He is particularly noted for the use of materials such as shagreen and ostrich egg in combination with precious metals and gemstones.[3]
Architecture
Cooper studied architectural drawing for three years from 1888 as an apprentice to John Sedding in London[4] and travelled in Europe in the 1890s with the architects Alfred Hoare Powell and Henry Wilson.[5]
In the 1890s, he made various changes to buildings at St Margaret Works, Leicester for his father's company.
He continued in architecture even after starting his own workshop, including building several cottages and an infant school.[5]
