Marbles as Fine Art

Marbles are an important part of history. In the last century, nearly every kid collected, traded and played with marbles.

The sparkling, round colored glass of a marble is a descendant of the stone and clay balls that have been used as toys for thousands of years.  Marbles are timeless and universal, spanning culture, generation, language and class.

iMables.com highlights the work of glass artists making marbles in the Pacific Northwest.

I have always been fascinated with these little orbs we call marbles, but who isn't?....they have a mystique about them……..everyone loves a marble & everybody you talk to has a marble story!

Winlock Marbles have reached all corners of the globe. Making marbles & talking to people from around the world brings me much joy, the same joy shared by the collectors of my little creations.
