Hayden Wilson Whiskey Snifter

Born up the road in Yancey County, Hayden is a second-generation glassmaker, but initially, the medium didn’t hold much interest for him. He received his BFA from UNC Asheville with a concentration in sculpture and eventually arrived at glassmaking, which he’s been doing for about ten years now. "With our current production setup, I think of myself as more of a manufacturer than an artist," Hayden tells me. Read all about how Hayden makes these glasses here.
