Fenton Art Glass opens kiosk in Polaris Fashion Place, Columbus, Ohio!



Williamstown, WV -- Fenton Art Glass, the largest manufacturer of handmade colored glass in the United States, is celebrating its 100th anniversary now through August 2005, and continues the celebration with the opening of a Fenton Art Glass kiosk in the Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus, Ohio.

The opening of the kiosk in Polaris Fashion Place was driven by the desire to share the Fenton “experience” with a broader audience who may not be familiar with the century-old, family-owned glass company. Shoppers will have an opportunity to touch and feel the glassware and see the rainbow of glass colors that Fenton is known for. Various events are planned after the kiosk opens, including artist and decorating demonstrations, glass identification seminars and glass history talks, as well as the chance to “make, bake, and take” a Fenton Christmas ornament.

The kiosk is open 7 days a week. For mall hours, click here. For a map and directions, click here.

Creating spectacular art glass for a century, Fenton Art Glass Company represents American handcrafted glass artistry. Located in Williamstown, WV, Fenton is known for its wide range of colors, handpainting and handcrafting. Three generations of Fenton family members remain active in the business and are proud to continue an American glassmaking tradition begun in 1905.
