Thursday Feb. 28th Terry Tomabari hosted a celebration party to honor the opening of an exciting new building.
Wayne Husted - Designer Extraordinaire - who has a Blenko Connection - as his very first job after graduating ALFRED University was at Blenko Glass.
Wayne was kind enough to send a photo and the following information, which I'm sharing with you all. Isn't this amazing work?
This is a photo of the finished lobby “Regal Necklace” That is finally up and the fountain running (That is copper fountain beneath the hanging disks.).. Glass disks are so big that we had to make a larger glory hole to heat them in. Bronze plaque at right says “Regal Necklace by Wayne Husted” A heck ofa time getting my signature made in thin Bronze!First floor is all Medical..like a hospital without overnight stays. Plus psychiatric offices. All of second level has large Real Estate firm (70 agents) and a first rate conference auditorium like meeting room.The builder/Owner, Terry Tombari.
