Class 4 of 12: Crafting the Sphere – The Art of the Glass Marble
Deepen your skills with the medium by exploring the captivating dimension of three-dimensional spheres. In this fourth installment of our 12-part mastery series, you will review your foundational skills before stepping into an exciting new challenge: rounding the glass. You will learn to manipulate molten glass into perfectly balanced dimensions, using advanced color application techniques to make designs outside or inside a solid glass orb.
What You Will Master
    • Spherical Shaping: Elevate your coordination as you learn to gather and rotate molten glass into a uniform, rolling sphere.
    • Thermal Equilibrium: Master the precise flame control needed to keep your expanding glass perfectly centered on the torch.
    • Internal Patterning: Explore layering techniques using colored rods and vibrant frit to suspend swirling color fields on or inside clear glass.
    • Flame Polishing: Learn to cleanly detach your work from the glass rod and heat-seal the surface for a flawless, optically pure finish.

Your Handcrafted Portfolio
    • One to Two Handcrafted Glass Marbles: Striking, solid glass spheres featuring your own custom designs.
