Our Mission

The Blenko Glass Foundation is dedicated to preserving and nurturing the time-honored tradition of handcrafted glass in the heart of West Virginia. Our mission is rooted in a deep respect for history, a commitment to education, and an unwavering passion for glass.

Join us in celebrating the delicate dance of fire and creativity where molten glass and hard work transform into impressive works of functional art. Whether you're a history enthusiast, aspiring glassblower, or simply curious about how glass made in the sleepy river town of Milton, WV came to decorate some of the most impressive places of worship in the world and adorn the tables of Presidents— the door is open.
