ReplyDeleteDo you know if anyone at the BLENKO factory reads your blog? We haven't had a post from an employee since the "reorganization." Hope we still get updates, corrections, additions, etc. from someone in-house once in a while!
Am looking forward to seeing your archive on the designers.
Take care,

The Huntington Herald tells me we are one of the 'most popular blogs' so we get lots of visits.
ReplyDeleteWith the 'reorganization' I'm certain everyone is very busy. My bet is any changes someone will be letting us know the blog gets dozen of anonymous comments that aren't published weekly as I like to verify info before its published unless it comes directly from BLenko. hjh
ADD PHOTOGRAPHER TO CARTERS' LIST OF TALENTS.

We have 7 or 8 signed m carter bowls and vases. Nice gold and blue and purples and frosted items.

Obvious talent. Having talent and doing well in factory work isn't always a cohesive package I would guess, what are your thoughts Hilary.
Very limited information about Carter where did he do schooling and where is he now and what are his interest and all that jazz hilary.
ReplyDeleteYou know these are very nice pictures. I like the presentation. Good studio work by someone.

this made me laugh very loud, of couse they don't after all they are reorganized into a lean steam machine that runs without customer base or employee loyalty or support of community why would they need support of blog and a few readers?
