Located nearby in Comer, Bendzunas Glass is a working studio and gallery specializing in handblown, one-of-a-kind pieces that are both functional and decorative. A family-run operation, the studio is led by master glassblower Paul Bendzunas, who has over 40 years of experience, with the assistance of his children, who have all learned the ropes to carry on the tradition. The holiday season kicks off with a reception party featuring glassblowing demonstrations, a bonfire, door prizes, refreshments and a gallery full of vases, bowls, cups, ornaments and other unique gifts. Open houses will continue every weekend until Christmas from 10 a.m.–6 p.m., with demonstrations running until 3 p.m.
