Glass Blowing
PALMERSTON NORTH SHOW EXHIBIT Spectators will stand entranced at the skilful wOrk and flying fingers, of the Wonder Glass Blower at the Palmerston North Show, starting to-mor-row. This master of a strangely fascinating art has just returned to his native land after a world tour of four years. While in Africa he toured by motor caravan for 30,000 miles into the heart of the continent, where the caravan was attacked by a pack of wild dogs early one morning, and a lion was shot as he made a leap for the native gun bearer who was travelling with the party. Indeed, to hear the strange experiences and narrow escapes from wiki beasts iB amitzing. Shojv visitors will have the opportunity of seeing this talented New SiCalander manufacture articles of all descriptions. A model of the Sydney harbour bridge, made entirely of glass and almost Bft. in length, and a lady’s evening dress, also made of glass, and flexible, are two examples of this glass blower’s art. This is an educational and highly entertaining demonstration.
