These photos are from Jerrod Edwards. The gentleman working is Les Womack, retired Blenko craftsman - this was taken during the Blenko Collectors Convention last year. The BSC holds a yearly meeting in Milton. At this time
'very special' items are usually available for purchase. Membership fees are nominal and include a great glossy newsletter.
The other photos Jerrod provided are also of the Convention - sales booths and a display of the various 'blenko colors' with labels and samples provided by Blenko expert Dream Wood of the Montgomery, WVa.
If you have photos of Blenko, or visit Blenko and take photos of something 'beautiful' pass them along to us- I won't promise they'll show up properly- but I promise the beauty of BLENKO always shines through. hjh
Title
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.
