Book Synopsis:

Introduction to Glass Fusing is an illustrated tutorial on the techniques of art glass fusing, geared toward the absolute novice in the craft. This all-color book is filled with hundreds of step-by-step photos, useful tip sidebars, and complete project instructions. The reader will learn terminology used in fusing, as well as the basic skills that are the building blocks of the art. From tools and material descriptions, to glass cutting and shaping, to more complicated procedures such as mold making and kiln operation, everything is covered in detail.

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.
