What a crying shame that it's all gone now... We had toured Fenton many times and have fond memories of a true art that's now lost.

Wow! I was so happy to see this on KZbin! I had such a good time making this video and wish I was still in that business. I remember when I competed with a few other companies to get to do this film. my statement that I made to the Fentons was “ Who else would know their business better” The two companies I was competing against were looking from the outside in. Through the 11 years that I worked at Fenton Glass between layoffs and being called back I ended up in almost every department where I would’ve work a few weeks until my art job would become available. So I I knew it from the inside. It’s so funny to me to see how easy editing and everything is . That was all shot on super VHS. And the editing was a little more difficult than today lots of hours ! It was great to see it thank you for posting!

I took glass for three years at a community college starting the year Fenton ended. never did get to make it a job. The j's for making work there and also this video. haven't blown glass in six years and it's pretty depressing. This vid made me smile ear to ear.

I have collected a lot of Fenton glass and it’s beautiful ❤❤

This put me in tears. American pride is lost.

[@joshschneider9766]

I love that two Fenton family members worked on the script too. Don't see that level of dedication anymore.

This is a treasure. Many thanks.

Awesome video showing the skill and many steps needed to form these beautiful works of glass. Thank you for creating and sharing it.

I wonder if the factory paperwork connecting the makers stamps to the makers names survives. That would be really cool to have.

[@joshschneider9766]

hah pucellas if you are Italian. We English speaking grasshoppers call them jacks. What a treasure of a video. What I wouldn't give for any job whatsoever on the factory floor cold or hot work. Sad it's gone now.

[@rosecarey8522]

It's important to pick up pieces at Estate sales, garage sales, etc...to save our history
