Learn to manipulate hot glass to make beautiful flameworked shapes and objects that can be assembled into larger sculptural and functional pieces. Techniques are explained so even a beginner can understand and learn. This groundbreaking book provides detailed and easy to follow exercises that are brought to life by sophisticated projects.
Lavish illustrations capture the entire artistic process; includes a discussion of the different types of glass you can choose from, as well as tools and safety equipment.
Begin by "melting" a ball at different points of the rod; flatten the ball into a disc; and form other shapes like hearts, wings, butterflies, and the moon. Turn those designs into jewelry, hanging sculptures, and stirrers. Fuse glass to glass, make a candleholder, and try several methods for adding color. 176 pages, all in color. Softcover.
All projects in the additional images are by the author and artist Elizabeth Mears.
