Making a soft glass marble.

Making a soft glass marble


One of my favorite this to do is making marbles. I use both Boro and Italian soft glass to make them. This video is me making a marble using Italian soft glass. This is tricky, soft glass has a higher expansion and contraction rate and one cannot dink around outside the flame with it too long or the piece one worked so hard on will crack or explode ~  depending on the dink around time and the mood of the torch gods.
