Michael Sopkin was born and raised in Palo Alto, CA. He has been working with glass since he was fifteen. Michael enjoys making work where there is a relationship between the maker and the viewer. He loves the way light makes an impact on glass, how it lights it up and gives glass an opportunity to glow with all of its hues and density of colors.
