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.

.PHOTOS - You Respond

Each of the five people who sent photos included one or two of Richard Blenko.
BLENKO was the focus of this evening. We all should be so very proud of the magnificent effort the Commissioner and his Staff put forth to make this event so very nice. It's a pleasure to live in a small state where everyone is so kind, and we have a Governor who supports education, the arts and business.










..................... .

I made a request for photos
these are a sample of the photos we have received from the BLENKO - West Virginia's Gift .
The exhibit remains at the West Virginia Cultural Center thru June 3rd.




Thank you for photos to: Lucille Parsley of Mingo County (Lucille also won the Are You Smarter Than a Sixth Grader - she correctly identified all the subjects in the photos). Luther Clinton Wolford of Belfry, Ky, Donna Stone of Charleston.













Jerrod Edwards - Capitol High Student took the photos of stained glass panels.
