Jewelry

 

 

My name is Marcus Coochwikvia, from the village of Mishongnovi, I am from the Bear Clan. I started making jewelry at Hopi Crafts in 1973. I learned this from my brother-in-law Glenn Lucas. I started there as a janitor first, a month later, I started making small pieces, like post earrings, & pendants. Later on I started making chains, bolo tips, and bolo cords.  I worked at Hopi crafts for about ten years and moved to Hopi Guild for two years. That's where I met Roy Talahaftewa, we learned a lot from each other, from there I started on my own, I like being on my own, my own boss.

Hopi winner at 2009 Santa Fe Indian Market. Marcus Coochwikvia; first place for his coordinated overlay jewelry set. Mr. Coochwikvia is an award winning silversmith who was taught his craft by Glen Lucas and Hopicrafts.
