Watch John Kobuki demonstrate for his Studio course, Flower Marbles, in which the students will explore the compression technique used to make flowers and other deeply encased designs in borosilicate glass.
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
i've been making implosions for 10 years, never fully liked them, tried to teach myself to make them, watched this video once and now my implosions are coming out exactly the way I want them to because now they're compression marbles lol. in glass sometimes it's just one or two little things you can add in or leave out that make all the difference in the world. thanks corning and kobuki
Thank you Mr. Kobuki for sharing your awesome skills with all of us! Definitely a "favorite" for me!
Each time I watch this it helps me more and more! Such an amazing demo!
100% Seen this about 50 times and get something new out of it every time.
@@redatlas8484 Same here! I am re-watching for like the 20th time almost a year later and still finding new tips
Incredible to watch such a talented artist work from 8k miles away... thanks for posting!
Thank you very much! Love John's work and this demo is really great!!!
Thank you Kobuki for being an incredible artist and awesome teacher. I've watched this demo multiple times, taking notes, and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Corning for also being an incredible platform and studio to allow artists to do their thang as well as spreading the knowledge for future artists, like me! 🫶🏻
sweet vid! Thank you john kobuki and CMOG!!
This is amazing, I have never seen this done before but I have seen the finished product. Now I know how it's done!!!
Great video. I really appreciated being able to see the whole process. Picked up a couple of techniques that are going to make a big difference in my marble making ability!
This was an amazing video... Thanks Corning and John!
Absolutely great video. I would love to see more of this artist!
22 people let their maria get too concave.
Absolutely amazing work. I learned a ton!
Absolutely amazing. Having often marveled at these amazing creations, I never fathomed exactly how they were produced. Now I have a much better idea. Blessings y’all, from the lush green hills of Tennessee.
As a beginner this was wonderful to look to the future. Thank you for this demo! I learned so much.
Love this guys work!
So delicate, very beautiful and just absolutely amazing!
amazing! Thanks! Also, one of the best quality productions as far as audio goes too. :)
Very nicely done John.
When he goes for the push at 4:10 and just gets it perfectly UGGGG HE MAKES IT LOOKS SO EASY!

Hands of an artist, demo personality of a goldfish.
+C very close, yep. I'm annoyed that I even said that... Must have been a dick that day.
Very cool thank you so much for this. learned a lot and will try with my marbles. Have an awesome day ~ you just made mine :-)
well done thanks
i really like it perfect
Beautiful.I have seen others who recommended you and/or took lessons from you.I am disabled and can't afford a kiln.Is there any glass I can try that don't need to be annealed?I do have a jewelers torch,as well as propane and oxy/acetylene torches.I just want to try glass work without a big investment.I made a 1" tall swan years ago that wasn't half-bad,but one of my children dropped it.It wasn't annealed and broke easily.Thank You so much for sharing,you are an awesome artist!
+Bowtie41 If you use borosilicate glass instead of soft glass, you will need very little or no annealing. I would suggest a class to learn more about the ins and out of that type of glass, as well as learning about the best types of torches and fuel gas. You can read more about what The Studio has to offer at www.cmog.org.
+Bowtie41 Vermiculite in a large pot can work for annealing smaller glass objects, you can also flame anneal small objects and if done properly, they shouldn't need a kiln.
!!! bellisimo ¡¡¡ end to beauty
That was a gorgeous marble
Thanks for watching!
Dope video and loved how it looked when finished. Great job dude #JohnKobukiGlassBlower
What brand/type of burner is John using?
Astonishing
Do i understand this right. That the compression is what in the end gives the petals there color? Like zooming out on a low definition picture?
The petals are the actual color of the glass, if he didn't compress it as much they would still be the same color. The compressions make the petals go outward, if he had not compressed it a ton while super hot the petals would look more straight up rather than curved around the glass, giving it the flowery affect. Hope this helped :)
What GTT model is that?
How many pulls to the center of a large termination?... One... Two... Three...
How many bongs does it take to get this good?
How many spoons ;)
How many marbles! ;)
yes is true,.--., This is goddamn hypnotic.
Is that a mirage or a phantom?
Does anyone know which GTT torch Mr Kobuki is using pls ?
He is using a snub-nose (short barrel) Mirage from GTT.
It's a GTT Phantom. The Mirage has 33 jets in the outer ring, where the Phantom has 15. Also a Mirage has a stand with a knob to adjust the angle, where a Phantom doesn't have the knob.
cool
❤
Great demo thank you very much. I can see hes using a 2 stud phantom but how the hell is he controlling the outter flame? Cause it appears more than once hes using a foot pedal? Huh? What? Ona two stud?? I swear i can even hear it *click*
@ 7:08 you can see him use the outer knobs to change it.
You can use Y splitters on a 2 stud to run a pedal
What happens if the maria gets too concave? Does the dimple trap air?
Hi, If the maria gets too concave then the pattern/imagery can become distorted when you flatten it in preparation for more layers. A maria that is too concave can also lead to the pattern ending up too small once the final heating and shaping are complete. Thanks for watching!
@@corningmuseumofglass Thanks for the tip! Love these demos.
Does he say what green he uses? It can be such a fickle color that loves to crack when encased.
+Molten Concepts -He doesn't say what green he uses, and I don't remember what he chose to use for the demo. Perhaps you can email him through his website: www.kobukiglass.com/
Thanks for watching!
Steve Buscemi blows glass?
Je vois rien....😢
Hey Corning how’s about puttin a lence filter on the camera
Didymium filters for the types of cameras used 8 years ago are extremely expensive. They could use 58mm cameras and or gopros with lens filters, but they are still pretty expensive. Be greatful for this video, these classes arent cheap if you had to attend. Be greatful my friend
making a marble round.
making a design in the marble.
making a marble.
Amazing. Makes me wish the studio in my school had lamps instead of just gloryholes.
The heating up the glass is the most important part of the process. Shut up and be thankful for the demo.
Where is your kobuki torch john?? Your phantom is missing a ring! Haha
kobuki sounds like young steve buscemi
sounds like a less angry Phil Hellmuth
My thoughts exactly!!!
I had to double check that I was in fact watching kobuki & not buscemi
Every time I watch him work too!! 😆
this channel norma'ly has great angles but this video you often cant see what hes doing
I'm a neon glass bender,thanks
You finding work now a days?
that is just a phantom...the Kobuki is a three stage torch...this is a two stage..
Is that a GTT Cheetah?! :o
Alicia Rodriguez phantom
сколько же этот шар должен будет стоить чтоб оправдать время, усердия, терпения и самого топлива? я 3 раза заснул пока смотрел эту хрень) час жизни ушел на этот бред
go fuck off
Его мрамор легко продается от 500 до 2000 долларов США, и они пользуются спросом, так как он один из лучших в том, что он делает, был одним из оригиналов. Он, вероятно, использует менее 20 долларов США в газе и o2
Kobuki is an excellent craftsman. Too bad this video was directed by a completely untalented goon. It should have been about 15 minutes long, and instead it is 51 minutes long with long shots of glass heating up. Bor-ring.
Curious why did he touch the white glass to his nose? It was around 19:40-20:10 new to glass blowing so I want to learn whatever I can.
