Synopsis

Glass jewellery is enjoying a renaissance right now, and kiln-working glass has also grown in popularity over the last few years. This book is great for students studying either glass or jewellery, for jewellers who want to learn and incorporate glass techniques, and for glassmakers who are not necessarily jewellers but want to learn. All these readers will benefit from the step-by-step guides and will learn new skills. This book is highly illustrated, with inspirational work from an international range of contemporary makers alongside the practical sequence photographs.
