Large Striped Bass with Dichronic Glass

by Hopko Art Glass

Celebrate the thrill of freshwater fishing with this hand-blown glass Bass sculpture—an homage to one of America’s most iconic game fish. With its arched body, bold posture, and lifelike fins, this piece captures the explosive energy of a bass mid-strike in vivid, flowing glass.

Features shimmering, color-shifting accents that catch the light and add radiant depth—bringing extra energy and brilliance to this dynamic sculpture.

Michael Hopko had an early love of glass blowing and began his journey as a glass artist in 1990 as an art student at Shasta College. After college, he worked as an apprentice glass blower with several different artists in California, later opening his own hot shop.

Michael gains his creative energy from his family, friends and many interests. An avid outdoorsman, Michael’s interest in nature is manifested in his inspired glass works. He is driven by the desire to dedicate his life mastering a personal interpretation of nature recreated and preserved in glass.
