Here is an article from the West Virginia Gazette of fans lining up for the 150th birthday of WV glass piece. They only made 150 of them and they went fast.
Students can relate this to the history of WV. This would be a great introduction article for an 8th grade WV history class.
Here is the 150th WV birthday vase.
Great job Carla, and thanks for posting those great videos about education and glass/ceramics.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to think about the birth of West Virginia and Blenko's heart vase. It was the Civil War that crated West Virginia and Abraham Lincoln's belief that creating a free-state out of secessionist Virginia would lead to the end of the war. So, it might be fitting that our 150th anniversary piece be about our people's hearts.
