Event-organizer Topher Reynolds, a Eureka marble maker at Copious Glass and the Glass Garage Studio, said action actually got underway Friday night at the Glass Garage, where more than 20 glass artists each donated pieces that were assembled into a 3.5-inch mega marble by artist Seth Bickis. The one-of-a-kind 4-pound marble will be going into the permanent collection at the Clarke Museum after the end of the event, according to Reynolds, who said, “I want them to become known in the future for their marble collection.”
The event also featured live “torch working” and marble-making by local glass artists at the Glass Garage and “hot shop” glasswork demonstrations by in-house artists at John Gibbons Glass. See highlights of the event in the slideshow below.
