About the book >.>.> Art glass is a big umbrella that encompasses several different techniques including stained glass and warm glass. The two most recognized stained- glass techniques are lead came and copper foil. You can use either construc tion method to create most stained-glass projects. In this book you find instructions for both techniques plus tips on choosing which technique to use for which project. Warm glass often called fusing is all about heating glass to form it into differ ent projects. One popular fusing technique called slumping actually involves shaping the glass into vases bowls jewelry and other neat projects. Because more and more glass workers are embracing these warm-glass techniques I dedicate a whole part of this book to warm glass and the unique project opportunities it presents. So if you’re interested in giving art glass a try you’ve come to the right place! Although hands-on instruction is a great way to learn new glass-working tech- niques finding an art center where you can take glass classes is becoming increasingly difficult. That’s why I’ve written this book – to be the next best thing to having your own personal instructor. Sometimes a good book is even better than one-on-one instruction because it gives you the opportunity to go back and review particular steps or processes again and again until you master them. In addition to my written instructions I include numerous full color photos throughout this book that make it easy for you to see exactly what you need to do to get rolling with your new hobby. Before I jump into the nitty-gritty of art glass I help you set up you studio and fill it with all the necessary tools of the trade. Then I cover the basic techniques of working with glass from using a pattern to cutting your own glass to putting the pieces together. I give you plenty of step-by-step instruction to help you master the basics and then show you how to build on your skills to create fun and beautiful projects. With all the hands-on practice you get in this book you may be surprised by how quickly you can develop your glass-working skills. (SP)
