Man, I was feeling anxious, binge watching "how it's made" videos and I ended up watching this one. The way you speak and narrate the process is so soothing. For 15 minutes I felt like everything's gonna be ok. Thank you.
Hello Gabi Ganeau, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that I was able to ease your anxiety for the moment. I understand how you feel, I become anxious at times too. But I'll be heading back to the studio soon so don't worry about more videos, their on the way!
I have one of these! My niece was dating a guy that did glass stuff, and he contributed one for a Christmas exchange. It does look bigger inside than the marble really is! It is SO cool!!!
" I'll put it in the kiln where it hopefully won't explode" ---- STORY OF MY LIFE ! excellent video, the narration is right to the point and easy to understand. I've been getting a mystery swirl in my lens each and every time, haven't figured out why but I'm going to try your method and see if that puts a stop to it
I know it can get frustrating, hours of work and only seconds to break. They do say "it's less about what you can make and more about what you can fix", unfortunately marbles like these are virtually impossible to fix 😭

@@MattJasa Hello, Matt. I watched again, and wanted to tell you: the only time I had seen glass working in person was in the 90s at the Murano factory in Caracas, Venezuela. What a pleasure that was. Your video reminded me, and I wanted to share. Have another beautiful day.
Hi Matt you do a pretty good job on your videos no stupid music drowning your voice out as you explain why you are doing what you are doing and it is nice that you show all the results of each step too with a close up when you can.
I'm really enjoying watching this right now. I like that you are straight up that this is proof of concept rather than a proper lesson. Because you are getting back that muscle memory and things get a little sloppy, it actually helps address what one might encounter. I tried this a few times before I watched anyone do it so i could see how far I could get extrapolating what I already know. Now I can't wait to go try again.
I don’t do glass blowing, I just saw a video that peaked my interest in vortex marbles, but this is amazing! You sounded so unsure of yourself the whole time but then then end result was phenomenal!
Wow! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I used to to lampworking and have really missed it...after watching this, I’m missing it even more! Just might be setting up again!
Hello Mary. Your welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hear from a lot of people once they get into glass they never want to leave it, although we do take the occasional break. Let me know if you start melting again, happy holidays!
Matt Jasa I need to find a place to work...but I know it will happen. I had a vented workspace in my basement when I did lampworking before. Now I’ve downsized and don’t have a basement. But I kno I’ll find a place.
Great tutorial with some really quality tips as well. When making marbles they were taking forever bc I was heating up the end of the rod, not just behind it to melt the glass down. Ty!!
Thanks Will! Yea I think we all have that problem starting out with marbles. It takes a lot of practice to become comfortable with the glass. Like riding a bicycle you stop thinking about how to do it and just do it.
Very nice! Thank you for mentioning that my 'bead' torch - Bethleham Alpha - will achieve this! I'm flabbergasted. OK, when I can get up the nerve I will just try it realizing I will make lots of mistakes and eventually I'll get it. WooHoo .........
Love the videos. As a beginner i love the small comments made during the process. ie. where your holding the marble to thte flame and why you connect the punty out of the flame. Thanks for your all your work
Very nicely done! I would be proud to have been that successful! And you did explain things quite well! I got the sense you skipped some of the marble molding part, in the graphite block, because if time constraints, but I can figure that part out. I got on my torch for the first time in about 5 years, and attempted to make a simple, clear a marble, a little smaller then the one you made, I think. And yikes! I was so out of practice! So I found this video, which I think will help me a whole lot. I ended up exploding mine, because I think I put it into my marble mold, without warming the mold up properly. Thanks for sharing this! It was so well done!
Hello Ron, I'm happy to hear you got back on the torch. It's natural to drop an activity for awhile and come back to it later. That's what I did with the guitar and now I play it all the time, so there's no shame in that. Actually I tend to skip the marble mold all together and use gravity, I didn't mention it back then because I felt the glass community would be upset I was doing things differently, but I don't worry about that anymore. Sorry to hear your work exploded. It might take a few tries to warm up your skills if its been awhile. Stay motivated and you'll be melting glass better than before. Best of luck on your glass journey!
How interesting, and innovative! I will have to try your "gravity only" technique. And I need to get back on my guitar as well. But harmonica's are my best instrument, by far. And I believe it is a very common thing for us artistic types to have multiple "irons in the fire", or " rods in the torch", :) in our case. I sometimes compare myself to the old "Whack-a-mole" game, because i sometimes have several things going at one time, jumping form one to the other, depending on my "fancy" at the time. And thank you for the very nice reply! I "liked" your video, which I had forgotten to do, and I also subscribed to your channel.
LOCO SOS UN CAPO. ( Im from Argentina ) Me encantò el video...Y me encantò el texto. Creo que el glass blowing y el lamp working es una disciplina que subvalorada.

You can encase the vortex itself to increase size of marble and depth between it and the inner vortex. Also if you put a ring around the shoulder of the backing where you want it to end, it will both be some extra cool support to hold the shape of the marble and a reference for the end of backing. Also, heat at the end of backing after placing, and push the clear rod into the hot marble lightly (before detaching) to open up the vortex for a wider effect that allows more light inside.
Hello Mick. I don't sell my projects from the videos, they go into my personal collection. I planned to work on sales but this year has been rough. I'll be making pendants and necklaces, let me know what your interested in. Thanks for watching!
@@MattJasa hey Matt! Yeah 2020 can piss off don't you think?! I just ran across your channel and really like the fact that you teach people who are interested. It's typically secretive techniques and I'm happy to just watch. It's therapeutic to see the pieces turn into art. I'm currently living abroad in Portugal and would actually like to get a paperweight or large vortex marble for my work from home desk. I might have to reach out to the artist in Louisville KY to see if they've got anything for sale. Either way I hope you're staying safe and still enjoying your artwork. I'm a fan of your work buddy 👍🏼
With a good ventilation system you shouldn't smell anything. www.mountainglass.com/ has great service and weekly sales. I noticed you enjoy Pokemon, do people still play the original Red and Blue for Game-boy?
That's a good question. Hand-made things usually are never perfect. Even with a marble mold you might get close, but the mold itself is most likely imperfect. Perhaps the most perfect thing in nature is imperfection. Thanks for asking!
Hey Brian, you can make small objects and practice without a kiln. The larger the marble the higher chance it will break as it cools. Theirs also other methods to help cool your glass without a kiln. If you are interested in Lampworking I do suggest buying your kiln later after you've taken some months to practice.
7:05: You are still mistaken. Aventurine isn't an element, it's simply a type of glass. Aventurine glass is made by oversaturating glass with either copper (reddish brown) or chromium (green). For blue, some cobalt added to the glass to color it blue.
I noticed that in your finished marble it fades into the io star and kind of grandparents out so to speak. To prevent that when you’re terminating your lines, on your final line termination if you pull it out and then bend that tip over onto the rest of the cone it’ll make it solid color terminating inside. Then lightly melt that in and then coil your backing color on by getting your backing color juicy hot before applying so it doesn’t distort the lightly melted in tip.
I have a serious question about your technique and I have seen it used in other marble making video's. @10:35 I noticed that as you were adding more clear glass and swirling the marble, you kept turning the glass inwards toward yourself instead of working away from yourself, So is this the superior method or are you just a left-handed artist?
Thanks for this lesson and appreciate the humillity on your teachings! could you please advice on the time and temperature ramps on the kiln for marbles?
Thank you! It means a lot to me to know people are taking it in; not just the lampworking but the approach towards finding better peace with-in and with your surroundings. But now for marbles I don't anneal mine very long, only about 1 hour at 1050*f per inch of thickness. Over 3 inches I'll add more time but I don't make them much larger then that. It's a good idea to ramp it down slowly to ~950*f but after that I'll turn my kiln off. I know this isn't very detailed, there are some annealing charts out there; they tend to vary a bit from chart to chart.
@@MattJasa thanks so much for your output Matt! I'm just a few months new to this so others experience is very valuable to me. I actually started doing this in search for corporal prescence of my mind. To just act and react to movement, this brings me peace. Kind regards from Chile!
Hey Sighs Internally, it's 10 liters a minute from an oxygen concentrator which runs on ~500Watts of electricity, which for my location is 5¢ an hour. Propane is around 2 liters a minute, I get roughly 50 hours per tank which costs $15-20 to refill so about 35¢ per hour for fuel.

Can a bunsen burner be used as the heat source?
Hey Rosemary, bunsen burners can be used to warm the glass, but without oxygen they won't get hot enough to melt Boro like these torches will.

Hey brotha sweet video, how much is the initial investment to blow glass ?
It depends on the route you want to take but it gets rather expensive. A small single stage oxy/propane torch is $200, but then ventilation, didymium glasses, kiln, and raw glass can easily push it over $1000.
Also figure out where your going to get your oxygen. Concentrators are a popular choice as tanks can cost around $40 a refill. Propane is everywhere so you don't have to worry about that.
heavy blue stardust is a striker. heavy blue leprechaun mixed with adventurine
Aventurine is not an element. It is a quartz compound.
You are right, thanks for the update. Chemistry isn't my forte.

Have you ever tried using quartz crystal? Better have a hot torch.
