After a few years absense we are back with a new found passion for creating all things round. So bear with us while we get things back up to speed with a whole new gallery of freshly made marbles.
We will not only feature marbles, but also the process of creation them along with the tools we use.
We will also keep links to other artists from around the globe whose work is inspirational.

None that I am aware of at the moment, but will be keeping an eye out and will post details.
How Marbles Are Made
In our workshop we have a number of torches and tools but below is what we mainly use.
- National 8M Surface Mix Bench Torch with a SM-7 tip
- Infinite Rim Marble Molds in differnet sizes (best marble tool ever)
- Clear Borosillicate Glass rods in various widths
- Graphite marver blocks to shape
- Mashers to quickly flatten glass
- Large tweezers to remove excess glass
- Coloured Rods as well as Fuming with .999 Fine Silver and .999 24k Gold
This mixed with a bit of experience, care and attention and a propane & oxygen flame give way to the creation of marbles.
