A CD Rom BATCHING BLENKO - FROM Start to Finish is now available at BLENKO GLASS Visitor Center or by mail. The cost is less than $10. This item is a great educational tool. If you are a classroom teacher consider purchasing this item for your classroom. You may preview the film at the Blenko Company Website. This CD could be used for class room viewing before the field trip to BLENKO. The color is intense, it isn't too long, it doesn't require any explanation. You will be very pleased.
This document was filmed, developed, and produced by Barry DeLibero of Pennsylvania. He has spent literally hundreds of hours getting to know the BLENKO employees and the glass making process. phone 304 743 9081 to reserve your copy. hjh
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?
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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
