The Appalachain Glass Co in Weston, WV 499 US highway 33 E Weston, WV 26452 phone 304 269 1030 (for direction or additonal information).
Chip Turner and his family have worked in and around glass for 3 generations. Chip and his Dad host a GLASS FEST yearly in Weston. Its a time when old glass workers get together to talk about glass, all regional glass makers are welcome to demonstrate their craft sell their works.
Many scheduled activities. The 2 day event is gaining national attention, you'll see many cars with out of state tags. We've gone a couple years - one year Short Finley (retired Blenko Glass finisher accompanied us) - Shorty bought some equipment he needed from another retired worker.
Plan to attend - if you can - take the children, and the grandchildren. Listening to Chip talk about glass and demonstrate and he make just allow you or your child to make something - Chip likes nothing better than watching a new glass blower .
Can't make it for the 24 -25th? Then keep the address and next time you're on I -79 stop of at the Weston Exit and visit Appalachain Glass. The gift shop is filled with handcrafted WV Glass and the do ethcing on site at a very rasonable price.
