Yolanda Baker was working at the Omega National Products factory in Louisville, Kentucky in the 70s, when disco was king and disco balls were in high demand. About two dozen women would work together, assembling mirrored disco balls while listening to the Bee Gees.
Baker, 69 years old, now does most of the work by herself. She makes about 15 to 20 a month for those of us out there who are still grooving. You can see more photos of Baker at work on her disco balls at the Wall Street Journal.
