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/bio/john-kobuki

  • 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?

    • 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?

    • 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.
