In this glassblowing demo video I create a borosilicate glass vortex marble from start to finish. Video of the finished marble:    • Vortex Marble Handmade by Bill Grout 2.16"...  

Looking straight down a ribbon cane of half gold and half silver fuming fills the core while supported by a field of spiraling multicolor fumed lines. In the background blue green speckles coved the dark cobalt base. The back side is decorated with raked lines of dark green, purple amber and sparkling blue floating over the reflective silver fumed base.

Colors used in this build: Blue Green frit, Dark Cobalt, Dark Green, Double Amber Purple, and IO Star.

Learning and exploring new ideas for artistic handmade designs in glass is an ongoing journey. I hope you enjoy this video series showing the whole process. If you are interested in glassblowing contemporary vortex marbles and how it’s made, this video series has it covered.

In this glassblowing demo, I show the detailed process of shaping a glass sphere using a torch and various tools. The hot glass heats up, glows orange, and is carefully manipulated to create a smooth, round form, highlighting the intricate skills involved in its making. It's truly amazing to see the creation of such a beautiful piece by hand by a skilled artist.
