- Watch as John Kobuki creates a flower marble featuring a lily.
John Kobuki has been working with glass since 1995. He is known for making marbles with the compression technique. Kobuki won first place at the Eugene Flame Off competition for marbles, and has been published in 100 Lampworkers and Glass Line Special Edition. He has taught, demonstrated, and exhibited in the United States and Japan, and teaches internationally. “I enjoy the challenge of creating something new with a finite shape and infinite design possibilities,” says Kobuki...www.cmog.org/b...

Thank you for sharing videos like this! John Kobuki inspired me to make marbles 10 years ago :) His work still inspires me today!
John, I know this has been five years ago, but I've only come across your work today, January 14, 2023. I am amazed at your talent, and I would love to watch you in person. You are an artist of glass, who wouldn't want that title?
It really helps to see someone this skilled be a bit shakier than one may expect. It feels representative for those of us who have tremors for whatever reason! Thank you!!!
😎💨🔥🔮
What sorcery is this?! I swear I went from staring at crude triangles, then suddenly these beautiful leaves and petals...
The beautiful marbles and toasted wood at the end is so nice! Beautiful.
Thanks for watching, Billy!
I’m amazed at how you spin the glass, your pointing finger barley used. Thanks for the demo. Fantastic.
Absolute mastery of fluid dynamics, AMAZING!
Either too much or not enough coffee lol....awesome demo, thanks Corning!
Gorgeous marbles! It was amazing to see the thick lines of colored glass thin out and become petals and leaves.
Thanks for watching!
I wonder how many gallons of fuel were used
@@ethanhudson5439 o, bother…
Wow! I make lampwork beads but now have to try marbles. You make it look easy but I am certain there is quite a learning curve involved. Thanks so much for an awesome demo.
Thanks for watching!
John Kobuki makes implosions look simple and clean but don't let him fool you... He's been practicing implosion techniques for over 25 years id guess. I always aim to hit the Kobuki level for my own marbles... I am hopeful that in 20 years I can make it look as simple as when John works. My marble end result also looks as natural as his then too.
Start making marbles and share them with us! Did you ever give it a try?
"Drummers are the crazy ones" says the man playing with fire lol
dig the demo and watch it over and over again as a tutorial
great video, the artist can never say too much though, would love to hear even more of his thoughts as hes doing it
What else did you expect him to talk about? Its a demonstration not a lecture.....
@@sandrolucero7248 not sure if you're a glassblower, but as one that's learning, there are infinite questions that pop up as you're watching. i understand some people are just here for the demonstration. all i said was that i would love to hear his thoughts as he's doing it.
Wow! Just wow! Glass is a living medium.....in the hands of a master!
Thanks for watching!
Very informative! Since watching this video, I've added this flower design to my wine bottle stoppers. Thanks!
I went to the Corning Mwseum in the 80s. They had a huge Louis Comfort Tiffany glass piece. It was about 5'x3'. I couldn't stop staring at it. It was amazing
I've watched this video over 20 times over the years
Thanks for watching!
I look forward to more torch/ lamp work. It is so soothing to watch
With some better camera angles, I bet this would be a fantastic tutorial!
Thank you.....I've got the same thoughts but with more cursing
I finally understand how these are made.. incredibble skill! Thankyou
Thanks for watching, Teresa!
Wow how beautiful such a talent is hard to find in the world today.
Thanks for watching, Alison!
Such beautiful work very surprised at your hand tremor. Beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
This is so relaxing; I could watch for hours!!! John, you are such an amazing artist!
Thanks for watching!
Thank You; The Art of Glass is one of the most amazing and beautiful things I've watched.
Tony...west hills, ca. usa
I should be sleeping, but i really love this art
Dude has some epic mad skillz man!!! So awesome to watch!
Thanks for watching!
This was awesome. Decent Steve Buscemi voiceover too 😉
Just watch and see how the experts do it. Thank you Corning.
Thanks for watching!
I feel talentless, like I’ve done nothing with my life. Lol. Simply amazing skills.
Everyone has talents, you just havent discovered yours yet. There is still time. Its always okay to fail at things, just keep trying.
Fascinating - Gorgeous.
BEAUTIFUL WORK
Thanks for watching!
Kobuki is a master!! A real treat to watch him work.
That was unexpectedly amazing, thank you
Sweet thanks Ricky 🥂🦿🍒🐅
Amazing!! Beautiful.!!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! Wished the flower would have been red.
So using encased stringers gives the petals that two tone color?
That marble is beautiful, I want it.
New appreciation time and pain staking art in the making
Only legends get GTTs named for them big ups Jon
So very cool
Beautiful
Awesome!
Breath taking. Absolutely amazing.
Fantastic.
Don't be nervous man your brilliant!
amazing 😍
Brilliant. I only wish Mr. Kobuki would have explained the reasons for some of the mechanics. Like why cut the petals into sections?
Disclaimer: I've been blowing glass for a month and I know nothing this is pure speculation
I think it's to achieve that fluted pattern that we see at the end. The small cuts get really exaggerated in the implosion process and create differences in how far the color gets drawn into the final marble.
To create 90 degree angles
Bcuz everything is moving from gravity during the flow, the 90 degree or sharp angles r the hardest to produce, for me anyway.
@@allorgansnobody that was my thought too, the cuts give the final shape the jagged edge on the leaf. would have definitely loved more commentary of his steps though
I thought I was listening to Steve Buscemi
I thought I was looking at Steve Buscemi!
@@allorgansnobody I don't get it
Beautiful! 😊
It's amazing!!!!
Oh man I have essential tremor and I feel for that glass blower. And I know I just watched that but I have no.idea how he did it.
Amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I always wondered how they made those things.
A NINJA WHO MAKES NINJAS. MUCH RESPECT!
my waters broken.....heh
This guys a beast! I love it
I'd love to purchase one if your marbles.....beautiful !!!
It looks like he may have marbles available on his website www.kobukiglass.com/mableinfo.html thanks for watching!
You should pin the artist's website in the comments as well as in the description. Thanks for the content.
One of my goals as a glass artist is to one day be asked to demo at Corning...
I will be the first to watch you!
Same!
Terrific demo. He has such control!
Even with the shakes he turns out a winner
i love anything glass but damn i spent more time watching this guys hands. theyre perfect . imagine what he can do with those fingers lol
🤔 Hmmm. His shakiness might actually have a some utility then, for her added pleasure. 🤣
I was doing the same...those hands! Woof!
Amazing😍
Ty buddy u taught me a lot in this video
What torch and gas are you using for this and all ur stuff is amazing
GTT Phantom, oxygen and propane
Beautiful!
a FREE kobuki class?!?!?!?!
Beautiful! You mentioned Cadmium incased in Cobalt. Would that cad be yellow?
Dudes work is top notch. Why does he sound EXACTLT like Steve Buscemi tho?? Lmao
This is great thank u!👍
Cool. Just curious, how to you smooth the last punty to make it round? Does it melt into itself?
Core question..... Still waiting the answer.
AMAZING 👌 Where can I learn how to do this (or attempt to learn lol). I've searched and found nothing. ✌️
Thanks for watching! You can learn how to make glass right here at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass: www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes.
@@corningmuseumofglass Very cool. I'll check it out. Thanks for the reply✌️
what would be value of such art work to gift ?
Que BELLEZA 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like doing hollow style implosions better but these ones definitely look cool
Have you ever seen someone do a maria from an other angle like building it sideways?
How do you have CADs directly in a GTT flame like that?
🌟 Thanks for this! ✌ 🙌
Thanks for watching!
I am watching him...but cannot fathom out how on earth he went from a 2 dimensional V x 3 to a 3D flower with petals...its either bamboozling or frustrating or both.
Wow!
beautiful .... how can 41 people put thumbs down on something like this puzzles me
42 as I write this
Nice job my brother ineed ur work how I can get ur contacts
I have never seen any1 use their index n the way that he does, he like uses the point of his index.
ill..
Magic.
Thanks for watching!
Que Bellezas.
Thanks for watching, Jorge!
For a simple marble this guy sure took a log time making it the longest I've ever seen
Ha implosion marbles are not that simple! It takes a lot of patience!
"Simple marble"..... Link to your marbles please. Kobuki is one of the OG masters at this technique. Please sit down till you have made it past the dunning Kruger curve. One love
Class a couple weeks ago and dawghouseglass sent me
This guys shaking like a Mexican space shuttle
DTs?
♥️
Is this boro or soda lime glass?
Hi Norm, John works in borosilicate glass. Thanks for watching!
That's a GTT torch, but what model
Possibly a phantom (without counting all the jets that is lol)
awuasome
That is not a marble, it's a golf ball !
this is amazing! How did you do this?
Is that a Bethlehem Champion or Grand torch?
I am sorry to say that he brought the torch with him and I don't know which one it was.
He is using a gtt phantom
Come on N00bs this is a GTT Phantom
Fasho, phantom
I see Hugh
ｖｅｒｉgood
Butifol!!!
Wowwww Paperweight
Are there any thin glass blowers?
Nope. We are all ex linebackers and sumo wrestlers.
Yeah me, i am a rail. But I guess most aren’t because of the munchies
When watching this art. That is your first thought? If they are thin or not? Chill out and enjoy their work.
What's your definition of thin?
Hi John,
