Description:
Fused Glass Handbook with Gil Reynold is an instructional book focused on kiln forming and glass fusing techniques, written to help artists understand tools, materials, firing, and project planning. This book is constructed as a printed, full-color and black-and-white handbook with an 80 page format that is sized for easy bench reference. It includes coverage of fusing tools, fusing supplies, firing logs, glass for fusing, basic procedures, firing glass, beginning projects, slumping and molds, slumping projects, annealing, advanced projects, air bubbles, compatibility tests, and a degrees per minute chart. The author, Gil Reynolds, is noted for studying at the Pilchuck School in 1981 and for focusing his work on developing and sharing fusing techniques. This title is useful when you want a practical guide for building reliable firing schedules, troubleshooting common fusing defects, and expanding from basic flat fusing into slumping and more advanced kilnformed work.

How it is used:
Use this handbook as a shop reference while planning and executing kilnformed projects. It is especially helpful for selecting and organizing the tools and supplies needed for fusing, keeping a firing log so you can repeat successful results, and choosing firing schedules based on the thickness and construction of your glass stack. When slumping, use the sections on molds and slumping projects to match the forming approach to the shape you want while minimizing distortion. For troubleshooting, reference the sections on air bubbles and compatibility tests to diagnose defects and adjust your process before committing larger or more complex pieces to the kiln.
