Artist of the Month

Introducing Paul Bendzunas

Working from his farm studio, Paul uses traditional glass-blowing techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are as striking as they are intricate. Using molten glass and five-foot stainless-steel pipes, he carefully shapes each design, focusing on detail, color, and craftsmanship. While some pieces may resemble pottery, each is uniquely crafted, blown glass, often inspired by his love of animals and the beauty of Georgia’s woodlands.

Visit us and see why Paul’s distinctive glass art has become a Genuine Georgia favorite!

Staff Pick of the Month

Tree Trunk Lamp by Jim Kitchings

Marilyn’s staff pick this month is a one-of-a-kind tree trunk lamp by Jim Kitchings, featuring a striking deer antler detail on the front. Unlike a traditional lamp, this piece casts light upward from the center of the trunk, creating a warm, ambient glow that highlights its natural texture and craftsmanship. Both functional and sculptural, it brings a rustic yet artistic presence to any space.

Visit us and see why Marilyn loves this unique piece!
