Blenko Glass - Milton August Glass Classes







Hillary:
One of your bloggers asked for some better examples of the classes we are offering. I am attaching some rough pics of the Dalle panel, the glass mobile and the carved suncatchers pics are the grouping of rondels and the close-up of the hummingbird sandblast. Keep in mind these are just examples. I'm not real sure what stencils you can choose for the suncatcher, but if I were going to be in town I would be in on that class and the mobile class myself. The mobile will be a miniature version of what Charlie Harshbarger makes that we sell in the VC. The casting class will give you a choice of choosing from one of our animal miniatures and a team of workers will assist in the pouring of that piece. I don't have a picture of that.
Did you get the pictures of the celebration piece in production. The piece is absolutely stunning in person. We do have one on display at the Visitor Center right now. Also, watch your Sunday paper in Charleston, there will be an insert showcasing the Celebration piece along with more information on the Festival and the classes on the back.
