Glass Marble Workshop

Create unique and colorful glass marbles using a gas torch. Add colored glass to create spirals, miniature planets, galaxies, or patterns.

Glass marbles hold a fascination for young and old, and are a popular item for art collectors. We will use gas torches to melt crystal clear borosilicate class and add color to create unique patterns and special effects. Instruction will be provided on safety, how to work with hot glass, add color, and shape it into a perfect sphere 0.5-1" in size. Your marbles will be annealed in a kiln after class and be ready for you to pick up in about a week.
