At the age of 7, Hamdi began learning glass blowing from his father. Now 60 years old, he continues to blow glass alongside his family for their store, Hebron Glass. The pieces created by Hamdi and his family are made using techniques characteristic of the region over hundreds of years.

The works embody the old stories of Palestine and represent unique shapes and patterns. A centuries-old part of Palestinian heritage, handblown glass adorns both homes and religious sites, and is shaped into adornments worn at celebrations.
