Artist Biography

Located in the Trinity Alps of Northern California, Soul Glass is a family owned and operated business. Michael Hopko has developed a collection of hand blown sculptures that combine art & craftsmanship that capture the beauty and motion of nature through glass.

Michael Hopko's background in glass began in 1990 as an art student at
Shasta College.  After college he worked as an apprentice glass blower
with several different glass artists in California. 

As an avid outdoorsman, Michael's interest in nature has led him to create a truly inspired line of glass.  His glass sculptures include a variety of octopus, a line of Trout, Bass and Salmon, as well as colorful fish like the Mahi Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna.

Since 1996 as founder of Soul Glass, Michael has insured that each piece of glass that leaves his studio is carefully handcrafted with a guarantee of supreme quality and uniqueness.

Michael's long term goals include
being able to produce more elaborate pieces, like the Goldfish or
Rooster Fish, that would especially catch the eyes of the trained glass
collector
