Hopi glass blowing is an exhilarating art that creates custom-shaped glass objects with handcrafted, intricate designs. Hopi blown glass is a newer art form for the Hopi and schools like hopischool.net are doing their best to make glass art another avenue for artistic expression. The Hopi School offers a myriad of classes, including a glass-blowing class instructed by Ramson Lomatewama.

These classes bring influences from contemporary Hopi artisans as opposed to providing a Hopi education from an outside source. By keeping the education this way, The Hopi School can teach their youth an authentic, traditional understanding of Hopi art.

Introducing… the instructor!

The Hopi instructors begin classes in early June, holding them on weekday mornings throughout the first few weeks of the month.

Learn the basics of Hopi glass blowing to create beautiful glass art including trinkets, paperweights, vases, ornaments, and more! To guarantee the best education, The Hopi School limits classes to three students at a time.
