Marbled Tumblers!

Recently we have become obsessed with perfecting the marbled tumbler:





Marbled patterns are beautifully organic, and allow for creative mixing of color. Their natural appearance makes them the perfect partner for the irregular, natural shapes we prefer for our drinking glasses.

When creating marbled patterns in glass, the clear glass is rolled in several colors of powdered glass, and then a metal rake is pulled through the color to create the organic patterns. Rotating the bubble while heating it can create an upwards swing or a spiral in the pattern.
