Absolutely stunning video Derek, thank you for sharing. You have captured the beauty and magic of the work they do at lamberts beautifully and really strikes home how lucky we are here in the UK/Europe to still have some traditional ‘factories’ producing. And also reminds me how blessed I am to have been involved in this craft……

It was an incredible experience to visit your amazing factory and see how it’s all made!

Wow! What an amazing insight into how glass is made. Fascinating and so much more manual work involved that I realised. You're right Derek, machines and Ai could never replicate this! So much skill and beautifully choreographed. I hope these skills are never lost!

Hi Mark, glad you found it interesting mate! Hope you are well and all is good with you and yours!

Unbelievable! Thank you for this, I always wondered how the glass was made and mistakenly thought it was far more mechanized.

Absolutamente impresionante, gracias nuevamente por acercarnos a un proceso que para mí es casi mágico, impresiona ver a tanta gente colaborando junta y es resultado para mi es una obra de arte en sí misma, como dices, ninguna máquina podrá igualar el resultado porque el factor humano, el sentimiento no se puede suplir, tus vídeos son espectaculares, gracias!

Hi derek I'm relatively new to glass art that video was absolutely fantastic, the finished flat sheets must be so expensive but so nice to work with.

Hi David, thanks for getting in touch and I’m really glad you found the video useful ! 🙏🙂

One thing that didn't come across in a video is the immense heat generated from all the equipment.

I agree, it’s a powerful experience being close to these furnaces !

captivating. uniquely skilled artisans. wonder about the process of becoming an artisan. do they have a well-developed apprenticeship program? how does an interested young person become involved? (I expect that the German apprenticeship programs are much more common than in other parts of the world.) as you say, it's the dance between artisans that is so impressive. how do you instill a sense of joy in the workplace that translates into a beautiful, prideful product. I expect that long hair and beards are discouraged. thank you for this. I imagine it was great fun for you.

Hi Tod, yes it was great fun to be there and a real privilege to see the glass melting master and glass blowers at work. I believe there is an apprenticeship program in place working in house. There are no plans to have a glass blowing school to teach others outside the factory however.

80% of my glass stock is from Lamberts

I wish they hired non Germans. That would be an absolute dream job.

@@DerekHuntArtist i get why they keep it local. they dont even really hire people from the next county, let alone the next country even though theres glassblowers all over the world whod absolutely pay to work there lol
