If you are familiar with our annual Pinecone Pathways Program, you know how passionate people can be about finding one of the glass treasures. All of the pinecones in the program are handmade by glassmakers from Starworks in Star, NC in neighboring Montgomery County.The director of glass at Starworks is Joe Grant, who arrived in our area almost 20 years ago from Illinois.
