IF you collect BLENKO or other WVA Glass you know the name Damon Crain. He is the creator of the beautiful photoart showcasing Blenko. Damon is a frequent contributor to the WV Glass Museums magazine and is on the Board of Directors. He is one of four people I frequently go to for answers.

Damon is a much sought after speaker about fine arts, he writes most frequently about American Art Glass. Damon shares our love of Blenko. Damon ever so modest suggest Modernism article was based on the same core information as the NAGC article from this spring. Hey that magazine is for members only - and we don't belong - so for us this is all NEW. Modernism Magazine has a huge circulation and if you all buy a copy, or even better subscribe as I am doing today.
