Handmade glass ornaments in UT Volunteers orange/white.*
Each ornament is roughly 3" in diameter.
There is some slight variability in size due to the fact that these are handmade without the use of molds of any kind.
These ornaments are handmade in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and "free blown" using no molds.
In addition to making the ornaments I also personally formulate, mix, and melt my own glass from scratch.
The high purity silica sand used to make the glass for these
ornaments comes from Short Mountain Silica
in Mooresburg, TN, 50 miles northeast of Knoxville.
Short Mountain sand is the same sand used under the
football field at Neyland Stadium to provide
proper drainage in wet weather.
Bags of the sand I use to make my glass.
