Doctor Nuchims,
Thank you for visiting my blog. My parents and I admire your art work. In answer to your question.
NO. Lipofsky was never employed by Blenko.
In the late 70s and 1980s Glass Artist formed an informal group - Joel Myers, Lipofsky, Harvey Littleton, Henry Halem, others visited one another
shared ideas - visited with the factory, actually developed life long friendships with a few factory workers.
If you are interested and want to read or know more about this I have several articles and many oral interviews - you may contact me via the blenkoproject web site.
