Earlier this month, we published The Pitch’s annual Best of Kansas City issue. You can take a peek at the results of the readers’ poll here. The issue also included a list, compiled and written by our editorial staff, of some local people, places, and things that we thought clearly won 2025. We’ll be publishing these items online throughout November.

Bonner Springs is home to one of the metro’s most unique craftsmen: Bruce Breslow. After a trip to Iowa in his twenties, he snagged a jar of marbles from an antique shop. Fascinated by the swirling spheres, Breslow knew he wanted to begin making his own.

Formerly serving the community as a woodworker, he transitioned his then business, Bruce’s Woodworks, to Moon Marble Company at 600 East Front St. Since the inception of the business, Breslow has worked steadily in his shop, crafting some of the smallest, yet most eccentric pieces of art that Bonner Springs has to offer.

As far as his style goes, he takes a few different routes when configuring his art. He says that there have been plenty of times that he has mixed a few colors together by accident, only for them to result in intricate patterns.

At his brick-and-mortar, Breslow hosts free demonstrations for members of the community to take a glance at his process. Kansas Citians gather in Breslow’s establishment, accompanied by the shop cat, Ringer, as they watch the man mold colorful glass into illuminated balls.

Breslow and his business Moon Marble Company are a reminder that, regardless of your age, it is never too late to find passion, take on a new task, and develop a fresh skill set. His slight spark of curiosity on a random vacation has ultimately led to a lifelong vocation and career, and Bonner Springs residents get to reap the benefits.
