Introduction to Glass Fusing: 15 Complete Project Lessons & Ideas for Dozens of Additional Fused Pieces

This is a modern-day primer on the basic skills and techniques of fusing. The book is geared toward the absolute novice and assumes you know little or nothing about the craft. Filled with lots of step-by-step photographs, useful tip sidebars, and complete project instructions. You will learn terminology used regularly in fusing, as well as all the basic skills that are the building blocks of the art. From tools and material descriptions to glass cutting and shaping, to more complicated procedures such as mould-making and kiln operation, everything is covered. Chapters include topics such as: Warm Glass Processes and Temperatures, Glass Tools And Equipment, Kilns and Controllers, Basic Glass Cutting Techniques, and more. Each new technique is taught via the creation of an actual project, such as a Tangram Puzzle, a Window Ornament, a Night Light, a Set of Soup Bowls or Jewellery Pendants, thereby allowing you to learn a new skill and create an item to wear, display or use in your home. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A very nice beginner book

This book is not too daunting and explains everything in nice simple terms for the beginner. I saw plenty of references to Kaiser-Lee shelf paper in the book, but did not realize until the supplier's list that the author is part owner of Kaiser-Lee. Usually this sort of self-promotion really annoys me, but it was done rather tastefully in this book. Some of the projects are very specific - a bit too much emphasis on sushi...

Great instructional warm glass book

I received this book today. It has enough projects with detailed instruction that I feel confident I can do this. The projects in this book are way more professional looking than some simple glass objects I've seen sold by supposed "glass artists" for outrageous prices. I now know I can make my own quality glass products with the guidance of this book and another great book I purchased. Both have great photos, instructions...

A Good Place To Start

Petra Kaiser's book on Glass Fusing is a great place to begin your exploration of warm glass. The book is layed out very well, highlighting important information, for example, by providing tables of temperatures when different things happen to glass...slumping, tack fusing, full fusing, etc. A beginner needs to know about equipment and supplies, kilns, safety, and all about glass itself... Kaiser covers everything you need...
