Ray Annenberg, Whitefriars Master Glassblower, demonstrates blowing a Knobbly Vase, designed by Harry Dyer and William Wilson, using the S-shaped tool. Note-- this vase is in clear glass -- the amber colour you see on the video is HEAT. Filmed by Patrick Hogan on Whitefriars Day, 17th March 2007, at the Aaronson Noon Glass Studio, Earls Court, London.
I had to catch the vase when it was "knocked off" and put it into the Lehr.
Whitefriars Day was a very memorable experience filled with much emotion. Ex Whitefriars workers were there and it was Ian Blagden ( Bloggsy ) that applied the Pontil/punty . He was Ray's footmaker at Whitefriars.
