finding local marble makers

I am interested in contacting people or groups that make handmade
marbles. I live in western Pa.
Does anyone know of people in my area that do this type of craft?

there is a guy that is at "Yellow Daisy" festival every year, (mid back of
"A" loop) called the marble man.

I think he is last producer in USA. he has a web site;
http://www.themarbleman.com/

there is also a fellow in Harbor Springs, MI, that makes some really nice
marbles, Harry Boyer of Boyer Glassworks, probably have to do some more
research to contact him.

I didn't know you did the Daisy! i am not there this year but have been on
A loop in the past. m

There are lots of people making marbles. One of the best is Mark Matthews
in Sauder Village in northern Ohio.
