Creative Glass Techniques: Fusing, Painting, Lampwork

This is one of the best glass fusing books I've purchased. The projects are very beautiful and easy to create. I give it 5 stars.

I have been fusing for 3 years now. I started with this book and still look back and get good ideas. You evolve and still can get something on a different level. Buy it.

This book is excellent. Of all the books I have purchased on fusing, this is the one I keep going back to. The information is presented in an understandable and straight forward manner. Bettina Eberle covers a wide variety of techniques that will allow the reader to expand their abilities. The projects in this book are ones you really want to do. The projects are very detailed and the techniques used are fully explained. If you are looking for ideas and accurate instructions for a variety of beautiful fusing projects, this book is for you.

I was interested in learning more about fusing and slumping and this book meet all of my expectations and then some. It has 32 beautiful projects, and I can honestly say that I felt the itch to make about 90% of them. If you have been looking for an excuse to buy a kiln, then get this book. I was so inspired by her projects that I placed my order the day after the book arrived. I agree with the other reviewers that the section on Lampwork was very limited. From the table of contents there are 48 pages / 12 projects on Fusing, 67 pages / 17 projects on Painting, and 10 pages / 3 projects on Lampwork.

This is one of the coolest books I have ever found. It is fantastic tool for learning to fuse & paint glass. The projects are truly spectacular & step-by-step instructions along with full color photos make it easy enough for anyone to follow. The first section features 12 fusing projects. Some include a plate, necklace, bowls, & a modern wall hanging. The next section includes 17 glass painting projects, some are used to adorn the previously made projects. You learn decal printing & stippling techniques as well as how to work with clear adhesive film & liquid resist. Application of precious metals, crystal ice, paints & lusters is also covered. The lampwork section is short including instruction for a planter ornament & a reshaped wine goblet. Both projects are simple, but produce stunning results. My only wish was for a list of suppliers.
