Handmade goods have cultural significance in almost every subculture and financial class. While the upper class may delight in the exclusivity of a handmade object, the working class may appreciate it for the time and effort that goes into its creation. No matter the reason, one thing is certain – Handmade goods connect us to one another. Crafting an item by hand allows an artist to put their heart and soul into their work, giving each individual piece character and making it truly one-of-a-kind. It also reminds us that our hands can do so much more than just operate machines - They can measure, sculpt, paint, and carve. Our artisans rely on their hands to not only bring their ideas to life, but to provide you with a treasure that is uniquely yours.
Our Washington State artisans continually challenge the limits of molten glass with new ideas and designs, expertly creating each piece by hand. Each paperweight contains dichroic glass for an iridescent and hypnotic effect. Ash from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens serves as the secret ingredient in the proprietary glass formula. Each paperweight measures 3.5 inches in diameter. Handcrafted for Uno Alla Volta from the hearts and hands of the artisans.
