Norbert Zielinski 49 years a glassblower - and still loving it!

摘要

The German Society of Glassblowers (Verband Deutscher Glasblaeser e.V.) has seen a change of leadership after the last board election in September 2013. The incumbent, Konstantin Kraft, did not renew his candidacy for the post since he had moved to Norway to take up a new position. Norbert Zielinski, a master scientific glassblower, and member of the society since 1989 and Vice-President since 2003, was voted in as President of the Society on 13 September 2013. Having retired from his position at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) in 2012 after 49 years, he brings a wealth of experience with him - as well as the liberties afforded by not having to work full time.
