Esferas Perdidas—or “Lost Spheres”—is a project conceived by the San Antonio glass artist Sean Johnston, aka SBall Glass. Our group provides a creative way to introduce people to the work of local glass artists by hiding select pieces in and around San Antonio (and the world at large), and then posting clues with photos to our Facebook group, so that members might seek them out. Some of them are difficult to find and require climbing or digging or moving small rocks or dirt. Basically, it’s an interactive scavenger hunt for decorative glass objects—mostly marbles but some cool surprises, too. Group membership is open to everyone who enjoys glass and, most especially, anyone who wants to participate. So, spread the word and invite all your Facebook friends to join. Everything that gets posted is up for grabs: Free art for all! Most importantly, this group was designed to involve children and people of all ages. So, please, keep everything kid-friendly. Thanks for your support and, or course, happy hunting! Rules, regulations and reminders 1) Each photo represents one marble lost 2) If you find a marble, please post a photo of yourself with it to our Facebook group Esferas Perdidas 3) This project is ongoing, if you don’t find any marbles this time around, keep an eye out on the Esferas Perdidas page for new clues 4) All of the participating artists have work for sale, as well
