Employee Spotlight - "Big" Chuck Chafin
This August marks a monumental milestone — 30 years of dedicated craftsmanship from none other than our very own “Big” Chuck Chafin!
In 5 short days, Charlie celebrates three whole decades with us! Charlie has been a pillar of strength, skill, and leadership in our Hot Shop ever since. Today, he proudly serves as the foreman of our night shop, where his experience and passion for the art of glassmaking continue to shape and inspire the next generation of artisans. From the roar of the furnace to the rhythm of molten glass, Charlie’s presence is felt in every shift, every pour, and every finished piece.
If you've been on our observation deck or stopped by for one of our Blow Your Own events, you've probably seen Charlie gathering molten glass or high-fiving a customer who just blew a classic 384 Water Bottle. (Trust us, it'll break if you don't!) Please join us in celebrating three decades of loyalty, leadership, and unmatched talent. Thank you, Charlie, for being such an integral part of the Blenko legacy, we couldn't do it without you!
