A must for kiln fired glass enthusiasts! November 9, 2006

Whether you're brand new to warm glass or an experienced technician, this is an excellent primer. Thorough guides for all areas of glasswork. I was especially interested in mold design & casting. Very precise directions & examples. Highly recommend.

Glorious Warm Glass April 14, 2006
9 out of 13 found this review helpful

This book provides the best brief overview of kiln techniques I have seen. Clear instructions and excellent photos make new techniques accessible to someone with limited experience and the wide range of skills demonstrated should provide inspiration for even more experienced glass artists. I love this book. I also own and love the Brad Walker "Contemporary Warm Glass." You need to buy them both!

great book on Warm Glass February 28, 2006

While 1500 degrees farenheit may seem very hot, it is relatively cool; i.e., "warm" compared to the 2500 degrees or so for the viscous liquid known as "hot" glass.

The information in this book is well presented and highly informative for those who wish to progress substantially beyond the basics of fusing, slumping, and casting of this most wonderful medium of glass as an art form.

I have been doing "warm" glass for more than twenty years and found a lot of new and helpful information

I highly recommend this book.

This seller shows Amazon buying at it's best. My book arrived in exactly the condition described and in a timely fashion. And...the price was right. Couldn't ask for more.

I'm shocked... August 26, 2005

to see the reviews on this book. I have yet to use my kiln though I've had it for over a year now. I have tons of books on the subject, the first of which was Contemporary Warm Glass by Brad Walker. I do believe that is an excellent beginners book but I didn't find it motivational at all. The examples are basic, just as they should be in a beginner's book. But, I found that every time I headed to my workshop to start a project I was already less than impressed with what I was about to do. I'd get frustrated and leave after cutting a few pieces of glass.

I'm a perfectionist which is not a good thing for someone trying to get in touch with their creative side. So, it's difficult for me to start something knowing that I probably won't like what I'm about to do. But, I found after reading "Warm Glass..." I was totally excited again. It is more advanced but it shows you how to do something other than a coaster!! It's finally the inspiration that makes me accept that I need to do a few coasters before I can move up to the more advanced and unique pieces.

Not only are the examples really beautiful - the instructions cover it all - even frabricating your own molds. The presentation is exceptionally professional. The examples may assume a basic understanding, but with a little foundation it appears to be a very thorough book. I will now go back and use Contemporary Warm Glass to get started - but I can't wait to try some of the techniques demonstrated in this book!

I highly recommend this book!
