Publishers Description:

Glass is a magnificent material for the artist. It’s difficult to create something in glass that is unattractive. Those who are not familiar with the technique of fusing will gaze in wonderment when you show them your first fused piece and tell them you made it yourself. A sample of the chapters in this book include: Warm Glass Processes and Temperatures, Glass Tools And Equipment, Kilns and Controllers, Basic Glass Cutting Techniques, The Kiln Firing Process, and more. Each new skill is introduced via the creation of an actual project and that means crafters will master a new skill while creating an item to wear, display or use in their home.
