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.

My husband and I got into collecting Blenko about four years ago - we love it - and have filled every shelf and mantel with the colored baubles! We would love to find a Rialto piece - and clue why it is so coveted?
Great blog, by the way!
My Mom's theory about Husted's work is that its HUSTED himself. She feels he is the most creative person to ever step foot in Blenko - and that his mistakes are better than most other experts best days work. . . . but let's ask the 'glass folk' who read, they'll know the real answer.
I don't own any Rialto. It's on my 'wush list!
BOUGHT 4 COPIES FOR MY SCHOOL

Please do let me know, it would be great if we could perhaps present this at one of the state principal's metings - and have them purchased for all classrooms.
The history of glassmaking in WV needs to be preserved. This CD could be serve multiple functions in a WV Studies Cirriculum, I saw many uses in an educational setting for the CD
