Victor Trabucco discusses consulting for Corning Glass at Steuben. Oral history interview with Victor Trabucco by Barb Elam via telephone, September 16, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:39.

Victor Trabucco: And then in the late nineties, early 2000, I was a consultant for Steuben glass [Steuben Glass Works, Corning, New York] I—and I’ve invented—I’m probably the one of the only lampworkers that has such an extensive cold working shop. I’ve invented machines, and a process for polishing glass. Some of that technology I sold to Corning Glass at Steuben. They used my system for about 10 or 15 years, and like 60% of their production went through the system that I built for them. I changed their whole operation. They actually dismantled their whole cold working shop, and rebuilt it.
