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.</span></div>

School has taken a big chunk of my time the last 4 years - so much that
I have a folder of 'to do ' things for Glass.<br>
<br>
Tony Patti has coined the phrase 'Most Extreme Sport of Art Glass' for
the art of glass blowing, I'm certain the men at Blenko - Rider and
Crew would agree it is an appropriate phrase.<br>
<br>
Tony has the #1 website - devoted to Glass blowing - each time I visit,
time seems to stop and three or four hours later I realize I must close
the site.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> <br>
<br>
</span>After graduation (5/16) I promise more information - but in the
mean time visit the site.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> <br>

</span>Tony sent this email and link which I want to share today with
you.<br>

When I read the phrase "enliven the museum experience" it makes me
think of the ballet of our "most extreme sport of the art world" in hot
shop glassblowing, and glassblowing is perhaps the only art where
watching a piece of glass being made is a captivating visual
experience,as can be seen in the popularity of CMOG's Hot Glass Show.<a
