Marble in the Making

Glass Marble

Hand moulded marble stick

Paused at 70%

 

"As children we must have all wondered how marbles are made, holding them up to the light and turning them to try and discover how the colourful spirals have been formed. We particularly like the moment just before the first marble is separated, pausing the process to retain the sculptural beauty of the marble stick."

- Edward & Jay

 

Part of ‘In The Making’ exhibition - more than twenty objects during the manufacturing stage of their construction...curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the design duo who are perhaps best known for designing the 2012 London Olympic torch.

The pair commented on the exhibition “‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work. We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product!”
