[PA-NJ Glassblowers] Glassblowing Documentary Video: Bert Haanstra's Glas

[Tony Patti]

Karl Carter at BCCC points us to this wonderful 10-minute glassblowing
video,

Bert Haanstra's Glas, a 1958 Dutch documentary.

 

According to Wikipedia at  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Haanstra>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Haanstra

Glas won a 1960 Academy Award for
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Documentary_Short_Subject>
Best Documentary Short Subject. 

 

Most of the video shows off-hand glassblowing but there are a couple minutes
in the middle showing bottles being machine-made.
