I'll publish them as blog time becomes available.
This one - Hinkle's Glassworks is definitely my favorite, I've had my eye on a Hinkle Lamp for more than 2 years. Visit the website, then make plans to visit Hinkle's studio.

ReplyDeleteHinkle has taken a huge bit into my retirement income over the last 7 years. The wife like you
can't leave his shop with adding to her collection.
This one is not an excellent example of Hinkle's superior work.
ReplyDeleteRon Hinkle is West Virginia glass.
Award winning made in the USA superior to all others hand crafted glass.
