Synopses & Reviews
Intermediate glass artists can advance to the next level with this comprehensive warm glass go-to. It reaches beyond the basics with a range of fabulous, richly complex techniques: using molds made from plaster, rubber, resin, and clay; incorporating sandblasting, drilling, and cutting into multiple-firing projects; and adapting tools and materials from other crafts. More than half the projects don't require access to a studio or unusual equipment, and there's a section on “beyond the kiln” collaborations with a glassblower.
