Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass

Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

WV State Arts and Crafts Fair 2010






Since 1981, David Houser has been designing and executing stained glass ornaments, panels and kaleidoscopes from his home in the woods of West Virginia.
Specializing in geometric and abstract designs, David’s leaded panels incorporate both American and European stained and clear textured art glass. Appropriate for use as exterior or interior windows, David’s panels are known for their high degree of craftsmanship and use of color. All glass is hand cut and assembled by David, one piece at a time.
At this year's festival, Mr. Houser gave fairgoers the opportunity to create their own stained glass light catchers under his supervision. What a great opportunity!

A comment not related to Blenko or the post, but nonetheless necessary:

"If it is said, that Liberation is of three kinds, with form or without form or with and without form, then let me tell you that the extinction of three forms of Liberation is the only true Liberation.

Sri Ramana Maharshi (the sage of Arunachala)"

WHAT S NEW AT THE FACTORY?
I HEARD THEY NO LONGER MAKE ANTIQUE GLASS OR DALLES
A LOCAL SITE WHERE STAIN GLASS CLASSES ARE HELD SAID NO MORE BLENKO BULLS EYES OR DALLES SO THE PRICE INCREASE AND NO MORE ANTIWUE GLASS. IS THIS TRUE?
WE LOVE BLENKO TABLEWARE BUT THE
ANTIWUE GLASS IS ALSO VALUABLE IS IT NOT?

Timing is the key to a good blog.
