Heart of Glass
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.

Harry Thompson -

These are photos (more to come) of items owned by the Larry Thompson family of Danville, Indiana. These items were made by HARRY THOMPSON or for Harry Thompson many while he worked at BLENKO GLASS in Milton, WVa.

Harry Thompson is being added to the FEATURED CRAFTSMEN on the http://www.blenkoproject.org/ website in August there he will join Shorty Finley. The Blenko Project is searching for retired Blenko Craftsmen , if your family member worked at Blenko and you have photos we'd love to record your history
in the BLENKO PROJECT.
