The following award winners were honored at a luncheon ceremony on May 20. Award winners were selected by the Terry College Alumni Board.
The Alumni Awards keepsake is a handcrafted glass vase by artist Paul Bendzunas. Introduced as the Terry College's Alumni Award in 2002, the handblown pieces are formed from molten glass using a five-foot-long stainless steel pipe. Each one-of-a-kind glass vase is signed and dated by the artist.
A native of Oswego, N.Y., Bendzunas attended the University of Georgia from 1971 to 1975, where he majored in art education and minored in sculpture. After graduation, he studied glass art at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina and continued to teach himself — making his own equipment, developing his colors and refining his forms. Paul and Barbara Bendzunas now own and operate a studio in the small northeast Georgia town of Comer.
