About Geoffrey Beetem
Geoffrey Beetem is a master glass artist, who is renowned particularly for his use of rich colours, dichroic glass and unique technique to make highly collectable contemporary hand made marbles.Beetem's fascination with glass began in 1980 while he studied stained glass techniques, which involved painting and fusion in creating effects, he then went on to enrol in a hot glass course at Ohio University. He created the marbles shown on the following pages using Italian hot glass cane, several hours of heating, stretching, pulling and reheating and considerable skill making them unique.
In his Stardust marbles Geoffrey has used dichroic glass to illustrate his concept of cosmic debris trailing comets as they fly at thousands of miles an hour through space. He has adapted the Stardust Clambroth design of milk glass marbles with exterior swirls from antique clambroth marbles of the late 1880's - this has yet to be duplicated though many have tried.
