Blenko Glass
Be sure to join WTCI this coming Friday, June 13th for an evening with Richard Blenko, president of Blenko Glass. If you're familiar with Blenko Glass, you know the beauty and quality produced by this family business. If you're not familiar with Blenko, take a look at the above photo from the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. All of the window's glass was hand-made by Blenko artisans. It's just stunning.
"The rose window in the SOUTH TRANSEPT has as
its theme The Church Triumphant, with its imagery taken
from the biblical book of Revelation. All of the glass in
this window was manufactured by the Blenko Glass
company of West Virginia." - Description from the National Cathedral Self-Guided Tour brochure

I attended the reception and the displays were beautiful with the blenko glass 'under the lights'. I bought a blue vase and had it signed by Richard Blenko and it is now occuping a prime location on my book shelf. Almost all of our guests purchased a piece and were pleased to meet Richard and speak with him about his family's tradition of glass-making.
