Been in a studio decorating mood lately and was curious if anyone has any vintage glassblowing photos they wouldn't mind scanning and emailing? Or any other cool relavent stuff. Really hopen for freebies, but might be willing to pay for large posters or stickers or something. Anyhow lemme know.
wil posted this up a long time ago, it's kinda neat;

I've got more on a disk. This server is not cooperating right now. I'll bring you a disk, and if anybody else wants to see more children working their asses off I'll try to upload more later.

I am gonna throw up what I got just now. Bout 40-50 photos. some beer ads and cigarette stuff too but in general pretty bad ass. Definetly wanna see the disk. Gonna wallpaper part of the studio in lieu of looking at the rough drywall finish.

i took a bunch of rags out of porn to put up some inspirational pics and a couple days later Glasskitchen showed up with his wife and 3 year old and a couple days later a magazine sets up an appointment to come into shoot the studio so the porn got ousted.
I'd like to have found more advertisement pics. but still looking anyhow..

This one is also one that I have some ware thats labeled as being from the bottle works also. If I can find them there are a few more shots of that kid making stuff on that machine hes working on. Showing what ever the heck it is they are doing.
Big Jay

Almost positive the kid is a luber. If you look in his right hand it looks like the old style brushes that have like a pom pom head. Most liekely hes in charge of opening and closing the mold and slopping it with lube for the next guy in line to blow out a bottle.
