More Information about Bendzunas GlassEverything that comes out of our studio is made by either Paul or Barbara Bendzunas. All work is done from tanks of molten glass, using a traditional
techniques. Each piece demands hundreds of decisions during its creation. All of this is done while constantly moving and turning the piece on the end of a five foot hollow stainless steel tube, called a "pipe".
Resulting is a series in which no two pieces are exactly alike.

Paul Bendzunas started blowing glass while attending the University of Georgia.
He was studying sculpture, and was attracted to the immediacy of glass.

A creative problem solver and tinkerer, he built his own studio and experimented
until he developed his own palate of colors and shapes. In 1980 he entered
a series of shows, began marketing, and has been working full time in hot
glass every since.

He has studied at the Penland School and worked with other glass blowers whenever possible, but is mainly self taught.

He began teaching Barbara to blow in 1994, and she now shares the studio creating her own series of work. Their twin sons, Paul and George, 17,
started creating paperweights, as well as forging various metal pieces.
