Blenko - Festival of Glass - August


A Graphic Artist drawing of the Festival of Glass - the REAL McCoy will be available to photograph early next week - it will be so very beautiful, but BLENKO wanted to give you some idea of the shape, and size its 20 inches. Tim from Texas described it as a floor vase.
We'll post a large photo as soon as one become available. The GLASS will be available to purchase ON LINE the MONDAY AFTER the Festival of GLASS.
My understanding - based on conversations with Christy at Blenko and Katie is 150 (the first 150) will be sold first come basis - much like the BLENKO WV Birthday - you go early stand in line - get a number and purchase your vase with the card you obtain - one card per person only. The next 150 will be sold BY PHONE or EMAIL on MONDAY first come basis then the MOLD will be destroyed. IF THIS ISN'T correct - please someone - correct the statement.
The cost is $150 I think - but I'm not sure about this. I'll check and get back, it seems not enough now that I'm seeing the vase. hjh
