Fenton Art Glass
featured
on "Dirty Jobs" Discovery Channel TV Show!
Fenton employees participated in filming an
episode of the Discovery Channel television show Dirty Jobs.
The show aired November 10, 2009 and has been repeated several times.
A DVD of the entire season is available on the Discovery Channel
website.
Click here for
a clip of the episode! The clip shows Fenton employee Jon Anderson
demonstrating how to make a swung vase. Show host Mike Rowe
tried his hand at several jobs, including decorating a glass t-shirt
paperweight, gathering and warming in. He even created an offhand
piece under the guidance of Fenton craftsman Frank Workman. His
''dirtiest'' job, however, was ''ladling'' or cleaning out the glass
tank at the end of the day to prepare it for the next glass batch. The
tank temperature was near 2400 degrees during the process. Rowe said
he gained a new appreciation for a ''dirty job'' that has the end
result of a beautiful work of art. We also have Fenton USA products
made exclusively for Mike Rowe.
