Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

hello. My question is for all collectors, blog readers, or those who have been around for awhile.
I am new to Blenko Glass. On the wiki page for Blenko Glass there is no mention of Richard Blenko, Marion Blenko, or the new staff.
There is no mention of Blenko Collectors Society.
Blenko Museum is given credit for the surge of interest in Blenko Glass. From several people in my glass chat room I heard and saw photos of a 10x12 strip mall shop that was called Blenko Museum. It opened about the same time the Blenko Collectors were incorporated if my sources are correct.
There is no mention of the Blenko Project or you Hillary. No mention of the outstanding designers
no links to the living designers.
If you haven't seen this I suggest you follow this link.

Blenko Museum is virtual? Whatever this means.
It is linked to five other websites all owned by the curator (?) of Blenko Museum.
Information or solely to promote ? You decide.
No one ask me but I think Tammy Kosla is responsible for coordinating the revitalization of Blenko.

ps Well stated Shirley.
BTW the wiki page was authored by the same salesperson.

Virtual in this case means that it does not exist in 3 dimensions. The Blenko Museum which I believe was at one time a real museum that you could physically go to is now an on line museum. (Think Virtual Reality, virtual being somewhere between Real and Imaginary. Anyone can add to the Wikipedia page but without credentials or references it will likely be changed or removed.

Real was a small shop in a strip mall.
That also sold glass.
Virtual is a website that directs us to commercial sites owned by the same group.
I enjoy looking at virtual glass and I also enjoy purchasing when funds allow.
Get off this negative subject. Ok
One more thing.
Salesperson is not an acronym for curator.
