Land Of Marbles: Carl Fisher

Carl Fisher is an engineer by trade with a strong background in sculpture and art. His marbles are collected by both vintage and contemporary marble collectors worldwide. His ability to recreate rare, vintage glass marbles with glazed polymer clay is appreciated by collectors who use them as "placeholders" until real ones came along. Lighter than a real glass marble, but stronger and more durable, Carl�s marbles will not chip, crack or break. At a fraction of the cost of their antique counterparts, collectors, enthusiasts and others can now gain an appreciation for the colors and designs of the most exciting vintage glass marbles of the past, yet they are easily distinguished by their lighter weight, softer feel and warmer touch.

Fisher�s marbles are also popular among Contemporary marble collectors, having come to be appreciated for what they are, and not just what they were meant to mimic. Towards that end, he also produces styles of his own design. He is regarded as a pioneer in the field of polymer clay marbles and promises to be one of the most memorable marble artists of the 21st century.

Fisher�s background includes 24 years with IBM, as well as having a Civil Engineering degree from Youngstown State University. He is also an inventor and patent holder. He resides in Temecula, California with his wife Francesca.
