Kiln Forming Glass

book was in excellent condition and shipped intact. very happy to get it.

This book has a lot of detailed information on fusing - maybe enough that it would be overwhelming for a beginner - and is a great resource. It also has an abundance of images to illustrate techniques, which is very helpful. It's a great addition to a glass fuser's library.

GOOD BOOK FILLED WITH INFORMATION AND IDEAS. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR YOUR LIBRARY AS A READY REFERENCE TO ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS IN THIS FIELD OF ART.

Enjoying this book on kiln glass

A little bit repetitious and rambling in areas, but over all filled with good information. I would like to see a little more detail on techniques and less verbose dialog leading up doing the actual work. Over all a very good book.

Fast shipping, Item as described

Not a lot that I do not already know, however.

This book is a wonderful reference! It is an information packed book surveying many techniques for kiln working glass including fusing/slumping, basic kiln casting, lost wax casting, mold making, cold working, and more. It has plenty of detailed instructions on techniques with wonderful reference photos (including both artwork examples and in-process reference photos) followed up by efficient, step-by-step project outlines to take the reader through the techniques, where applicable.The author includes LOTS of firing schedules! They are in Centigrade - but there is a Fahrenheit conversion chart included in the book - yet another reflection on the thoroughness of the author. (Thank you!) Most firing schedules are for COE 90 (Bullseye) glass. She also includes a succinct list of Spectrum (COE 96) fusing schedules and a chart for casting with Gaffer glass. There are a couple of float glass projects with corresponding firing schedules as well.I would rate myself as in intermediate glass artist. My feeling is that there is enough information on any covered technique for me to feel confident enough to dive into it! I am inspired by the wide array of techniques covered in this book and am looking forward to some exploring!

the book its very useful, I found lot of information about klin making, and technical desribtion.thank You for the fast delivery

This is a lovely book you will read and re-read. Not only does it clearly cover basic techniques (including programming your kiln) in a clear and concise way but it is full of lovely photography of stunning glass art to inspire you to the next level. Mine is well thumbed already and I'm only just scratching the surface.

This is a very detailed book in all respects of kiln fired glass but as a newcomer it is too advanced for me. I need the basics for starting up.

This is my favourite book on kiln forming and casting, love it! practical guidance on projects and firing schedules, mould mixes, so useful. One thing as a reality check for a practical skill like this the very first step before the books is to go on a weekend course to practice with a experienced glass maker then start experimenting and reading!

This is the best written and illustrated book on this subject that I have come across.It is full of clear photos, easy to understand descriptions of techniques and masses of essential technical information.
