Vortex style glass marble made by Bill Grout.
Starting out I build several decorative canes for this design including incorporating some pink mica, a green vine, and a rose pattern. After the initial gather and shaping of the main clear rod I add one by one the design element canes. Then for a background I lay down some blue green frit, then gold fume, then the black base. The back side is built out in my usual process with raked color lines using aqua blue, sparkling blue green, and tan floating over the reflective silver fumed base.
Bill and Rae Grout are full time artists from Corvallis Montana. “We are science geeks to glassblowers”. They both have technical backgrounds in the high tech avionics industry but left the corporate life to live their dream.
Bill became a full time artist and started blowing glass in 1993 and Rae left the corporate world in 2002 to be with Bill and become a glassblower. In 2016 they began incorporating metal working, dragon attire and Steampunk designs into their glass art. Together they live on a small farm that includes orchards, an extensive garden with a green house, Steampunk shop, Torch shop for torch work glass blowing, Bills Man Cave equipped with a electronics wing and Brew house.
Their farm has fantastic views overlooking the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. Together they spread love and harmony, sharing this fantastic journey called life.
