Open Studio June 26, 2022 (overflow audio version) by WESU published on 2022-06-26T16:14:19Z "This jar of marbles just beckoned to me." Today, the marble – that little, swirly, colored round glass child’s toy you associate with, like, the ‘50s -- as art. Ben Michael, who happens to be WESU’s general manager, and wears other hats, too, as you’ll hear, has lately become a marble aficionado – and more, a marble artist! And he’s far from alone but is part of a helpful, generous, mostly online, but also locally in person, community of marble-minded people. Marbles. Who knew? My conversation with Ben -- my first time in a long time in the actual studio! -- overflowed the allotted hour. This the complete "overflow audio" version. Genre Arts
