Finding Flow & Craft: The Artistry of Hula Han Studios

If you've ever caught the hypnotic spin of a handmade hoop—or witnessed someone move with effortless grace while wielding it—you’ve likely glimpsed the magic of Hula Han Studios. At its heart stands Hannah, better known as Hula Han, a passionate flow artist, performer, and talented hoopsmith whose journey in movement art is as captivating as the hoops she crafts.

 Meet the Artist Behind the Hoops

Hannah presents herself as a hoop instructor, a flow artist who’s been deeply immersed in the world of hooping and hoop craft since around March 2018. Her social media conveys not just movement, but a soulful connection to the art:

She is both an artist and a maker—handcrafting her hoops with care. As she puts it:

“I'll be set up with my handmade hoops from Hula Han Studios—ready for spinning, shopping, and sharing the joy of movement.” Instagram

This blend of creativity and craftsmanship sets Hula Han Studios apart: Hannah is not only teaching the art of hoop movement but supplies the tools that make it possible—hoops made with intention and love.

The Movement Journey

Flow arts—like hooping, poi, and ribbon dance—aren’t merely performance arts. They’re immersive experiences bridging mind and body, often creating a shared moment between artist and audience. As one observer of the flow arts community noted:

“Flowing styles of music such as EDM and ambient pop... the music is an integral part... there is relatively equal feedback—and often, a blurring of lines—between the artist and the audience.”

Hannah’s approach seems to embrace that ethos—inviting others to join the flow rather than watch from afar.

Workshops, Performances & Beyond

Hula Han Studios isn’t just about solo practice; it’s about shared experience. In one instance, Hannah offers:

“The Beginner Hoop Flow workshop is at 1 pm (hoops provided)” Facebook

These workshops make learning accessible—including providing hoops—so even newcomers can dive into the experience without upfront investment in gear.

Performance-wise, she’s appeared at local events such as "VA Flow Artist SPOTSY CAR SHOW" and "Thriftworld Expo"—places where movement invites curiosity and engagement. 

The Essence of “Hoopsmith”

The term hoopsmith hints at more than just craft—it suggests expertise in shaping both form and function. You don’t just spin these hoops; they’re designed to respond—smooth, balanced, and personalized to the flow they support.

A hoopsmith’s creations can make or break the feel of movement, and Hannah’s dedication to both design and function speaks to her depth as both artisan and artist.

Why Hula Han Studios Deserves the Spotlight

• Dual Creativity: She designs and builds her hoops while also teaching and performing—bridging art, craft, and instruction seamlessly.

• Inclusive Spirit: Offering beginner workshops with supplied hoops lowers the barrier for new participants.

• Community Connection: Her public appearances and social media storytelling foster a sense of shared movement and joy.
