It doesn't have to be a choice. I think both OLD and NEW! Buy what you like.
Blenko has a new design team. If you didn't see the WV Birthday piece (this blog or the BLenko Website) You may not know about the 'new' design team. We were fortunate enough to meet them during break and to view some of the new designs. They are unique, a few are retro, many are very classic, all are very clean and beautiful. The Birthday piece is a great example of the work this team produces.
This is a great time to start 'collecting' NEW Blenko! The 'OLD' is terrific, and a lot of the molds are still being used. I recommend checking the Visitors Center often as the merchandise changes frequently. Look under the tables, in the corners for 'terrific' unique finds. Ask Diana and/or Tammy for help if you don't see what you are looking for, or if you have questions about an item or color.
When the NEW line is available for public viewing I'll devote a couple days to photos of NEW BLENKO!
The photos today are of OLD BLENKO - These photos are from the BLENKO MUSEUM they were taken by Damon Crain who is often writes and speaks about glass art. The Blenko Museum Web site (http://www.blenkomuseum.org/) is a great place to visit, if you want to learn about BLENKO . The photographs like the ones above are some of the most beautiful . hjh photos of JOEL PHILIP MYERS WORK AT BLENKO GLASS COMPANY photos taken by Damon Crain of Blenko Museum.

site. This gentleman is
a wonderful photographer
how can I learn more about
this?
Will he be coming to WV?
Is he associated with Blenko?
Will he lecture in WV or nearby?
Is he associated with one of
the groups you hawk?

Solomon,
My recommendation is you contact the website using your office email account. Sign the email with your full name and DVM after
and wait patiently for a reply.
Mr. Crain is very busy, however, he is a professional and welcome serious inquiries about the glass arts.
We have found Mr. Crain to respond very quickly and with more information than requested.
Regarding his association with 'groups I hawk' I am assuming you mean WV Glass Museum and he writes for this publication - if you subscribe - you may read his articles.
I do not know if Crain is a member of Blenko Collectors. I do know he is responsible for the BLENKO Museum which houses one of the most unique collections know.
Hope this helps with your desire to become ' educated '.

Did you just insult me?

in the very old glass
company? Why else would I

I heard that a new robot has just been released . There are quite many robots on the market. What is a Forex robot anyway? Which one is working? I have heard many good things about Forex auto pilot turbo. I would like to know which one is the most reliable. Thank you.
