CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Thank You! -
I have a selection of instructional books on Warm Glass techniques, but I found this one very clear and precise. It was easy to follow and I enjoyed working with it.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
good eye candy with tech stuff too! -
friend likes eye candy to motivate but needs technical info to actually make pieces and we got that. Thanks!
Great book, poor translation -
This book is a great source of information. Comprehensive, thoroughly illustrated and graphically appealing. It is a shame the translation is a poor job. I am a translator and a potter and I am new to craft glass. I'm sure I'll use this book a lot, but I really wish it hadn't been translated from Spanish, because the English rendition is definitely not good.
warm glass -
Purchased this book basically because of the title (fusing), but there really isn't alot of information about fusing and slumping. Good background on glass though.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
The Glass Fusing Bible!!! -
My friend Andy works for a local stained glass studio and teaches classes at BYU. I enjoy talking to him about stained glass and he is full of really good advice about kiln fired glass. Recently he recommended Warm Glass to me. I got it and I love it.
This volume is full of examples of work which has been created in a kiln, but it's much more, it's like a classroom in a book, a primer on what went right and what went wrong. It is by far the best book I've seen to learn about kiln fired glass.
You really need to get this book.
