Ben Barocas, been on the torch since Dec. 2002. Currently I'm living in Cape Cod, MA but hopefully soon I'll be moving back to New Paltz, NY. I'm all about the marbles, they're so much fun. Check out my new mini smiley face marble: :) Pretty sick, huh?

Fred R., City of Orange,California.
Have only ever wanted to be an artist. Carved sticks and soap as a kid. Moved on to making Fimo beads by 14 or 15. Went through phases of painting and sculpting, eventually leading to my discovery of glass in 2000. Began with fusing and slumping,moved to lampwork in 2002, with soft glass. In 2004 began making beads with boro.
I'm a librarian type a guy with chimpanzee features. I skate concrete bowls and parks occasionally and profess to be pretty good at whatever video game you wanna throw my way,except Tiger Woods. I'm 33 and am married to Heather, someone I have known for about 13 years.
Was that too long? Oh well.
Peace and thanks for having me,
Fred Rossi.

Mostly live in Calgary, but often found in a one room cabin high in the Kootenay mountains of BC. When in BC, you'll find me hiding in the dark caves of Ainsworth Hotsprings, leaving marbles and beads in hidden crevices....just for fun.
Been at the torch for 8 years, doing kiln work for 13 years, started in stained glass about 25 years ago (can't remember exact dates....too old now, memory fading....)
Real job....working part-time on the child abuse crisis line. Looking forward to leaving that behind soon.....hoping they can give me some kind of happy pill to make me forget all about it....just vague memories of working for the gov't for 20 years...aarrrghh...how did this happen???
