J Winterbower Glass Art Review and Giveaway!

winterbower marble 4

Every so often, I am introduced to a new company and fall in love.  J Winterbower Glass Art is one of these companies.  Based out of the Williamette Valley in Lebanon, Oregon, J Winterbower has been making art glass for over 4 years.  He manipulates molten glass, using a torch and tools  to create a variety of glass art pieces.  J Winterbower Glass Art focuses on creating beads, pendants, creatures and a variety of marbles and paperweights.  The marbles and paperweights come in a few different styles: vortex, galaxy and floral implosion flowers.  The variety J Winterbower creates makes it easy to find an art piece that is just perfect for you or a lucky friend!

J Winterbower Art Glass sent me a vortex marble of my very own.  Isn’t it beautiful?  Perfectly hypnotizing.  I have placed it on my mantle, far out of my daughter’s reach.  This way I can look at it everyday take comfort in its calming beauty!

Take a look at J Winterbower creating a marble!  This is how it all starts.  With a long rod of clear glass, heat and talent!!

And what begins as a long clear piece of glass ends as a perfectly spectacular round marble!
