The Artistry of Ron Hinkle

Fenton USA is pleased to partner with glass artisan Ron Hinkle to develop these marvelous ornaments. A native of Buchannon, West Virginia, Ron is fascinated by the movement and flow of molten glass. His work has been featured on the West Virginia Governor's Christmas Tree and the Christmas Pageant of Peace trees at the White House.

Ron uses his glassmaking skills to create the classic Christmas tree ball shape, finished with a delicate loop of applied glass.

Each ornament is proudly signed by the talented Fenton artist who handpainted it. Shown are a few of Ron's creations for Fenton USA. As you can see, these special ornaments sell out quickly. Three new ornaments will be offered for Christmas 2011, including a Limited Edition Blue Burmese Ornament, so be sure to check back!
