Bendzunas Glass is celebrating its 51st anniversary and kicking off the holiday season with an
event that will include glass blowing demonstrations and the opportunity to browse a variety of
pottery and glass works. Bendzunas Glass is run by Paul E. Bendzunas, who has dedicated the
past several decades of his life to glassworks. Recently, he has been training his son, Paul R.
Bendzunas, to one day take over the trade. Paul E. shares the gallery with his wife, Barbara
Bendzunas, who is a potter. The open house will also feature several of Barbara’s friends from
Good Dirt, a clay studio in Athens where she creates her works. Barbara credits these fellow artists with reviving her love for clay. There will be an after-party following the open house hours. The shop is open from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily until Christmas, with glass demonstrations available by appointment.
