Exploring a New Vortex Marble Core Element: Episode 11

Lampworking a borosilicate glass marble from start to finish with a central element design I have not done before. Learning and exploring new ideas for artistic designs in glass is an ongoing journey. I hope you enjoy this video series showing the whole process. If you are interested in glassblowing and how contemporary vortex marbles are made this video has it covered.

Thankyou for putting in the time and effort to share these techniques. I've never been able to find any videos that explain the nuances of vortex techniques until I came across yours. I never knew so much is possible with vortex marbles.

Thanks Bill, I appreciate your help with the process. I have been on the Torch since 2017 and seem to always pick up valuable info from watching other Craftspeople. Best Wishes Steve

This was a bit messy getting my central element effect started and I found out I had WAY too much silver nitrate to start with. Trying new things generally leads to more ideas of what I can do with the process. I am looking forward to exploring this more!

Cool stuff! Hi from a little north of 49! Brrr, winter has arrived. New to your channel and one day hope to tool up and give glass a go! Was a commercial glazier for a while in 5he 90s but loved the art glasswork bits of the apprenticeship...thanks for the videos, very informative!
