Format:Hardcover
I bought this book to help me with the general techniques of kiln forming glass - it covers fusing, slumping, pate de verre, casting, mould making, masters etc. It is one of the best books I have found for giving specific technical information, rather than just glossing over the practical facts. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in making kiln glass. With reference to the last reviewer, it does cover fusing, slumping and more basic kiln methods, but then goes on to cover more advanced kiln glass techniques, so I disagree about it being only for those interested in advanced techniques - it allows for progression, so this would be a book you would refer to again and again I think. Also why did the reviewer buy the book twice!?! I don't think the title is misleading at all.

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.
