I have always been
fascinated with these little orbs we call marbles. But who isn't, it seems
that everyone loves a marble ! So "knuckle down" to hear the story of WinlockMarbles.......
After a purchase of some contemporary marbles
at
a auction, the seller mentioned he taught classes, but he was half
way across the US and the commute would have been painful ! I asked if he
had any info for learning this art of marble making and he obliged me with
many resources.
I had played with glass and my Dad's propane torch
as a kid and always found it amazing mixing fire and glass. I couldn't
wait to get a flame and some glass in front of me turning out my own
marbles. After weeks of research, I applied self taught techniques to
making marbles.
Living in Winlock, WA., I thought the "W" in Winlock and
the "M" in marbles would work well together. Tags were made and marbles
put into bags. Family and friends were very supportive. For fun, I put
some on eBay, and the rest is marble making history.
I want to thank family, friends,
and all the lucky winners of eBay auctions in their support of
WinlockMarbles. I thank you for visiting this site......... come back soon
!
Warm Regards,
Cory Anderson
