February 20, 2009 by Lanora

Demonstration, Moon Marble Co, Bonner Springs KS

Did you ever wonder how marbles are made?

Handmade ones are a rarity nowadays, but the art is definitely not lost at Moon Marble Company. Artisan and owner Bruce Breslow demonstrates the craft in his Bonner Springs, Kansas, shop on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Call ahead (913-441-1432) for exact times or to arrange a group tour.

Don't forget to use the restroom during your visit: it's also a marble museum.

    I love this guy’s shirt, amazing colours! I did a glass bead making course a few years ago, & learnt how to use the flame to melt the glass into shape, it was lots of fun.
    thanks for sharing,
    Peace

    I would love visiting this place! Clearly the place to be if you’ve ever lost your marbles (I had to say it).
