The Glass Artist's Studio Handbook: Traditional and Contemporary Techniques for Working with Glass

by Cecilia Cohen

Overview

The go-to reference that covers the basics of setting up a studio, three popular techniques for creating glass art, and projects that will challenge you.

The Glass Artist's Studio Handbook offers readers a comprehensive and accessible guide to not only the nuts and bolts of this perennially popular craft but insight into the artisan crafter's lifestyle. Our book offers much, much more than "just projects"—it will fast become the definitive "bible" for all home crafters.

Many glass art how-to books on the market provide precise patterns and instructions for projects that are fairly traditional in technique, materials and style. Completing a project from those books leaves you with a piece that is ideally identical to what the author created—and to what every other student using the book created. Many books are strong in the basics but do not do enough to challenge us to stretch our imagination, experiment with new styles, and explore materials. Readers want creative challenge and stimulation, and Quarry delivers with this complete glass art curriculum.

Editorial Reviews

The medium of glass isn't for everyone. This handbook does not cover all glass techniques, but glass artist Cohen thoroughly and clearly addresses particular practices. Her passion for the craft of glass art and her lifetime of experience are apparent throughout. An unusually large array of photographs well illustrates this colorful and luminous medium. This is not the book for readers interested in glassblowing, but it will be helpful for those exploring stained glass, glass fusing, or lampworking. Ceramicists and antique collectors may also be intrigued.
