Glass and Print w/ Kevin Petrie

Glass and Print: by "Kevin Petrie" is part of the Glass Handbook Series. This book will show you that the combination of glass and printmaking offers tremendous potential for artists accustomed to working with either medium. The great variety of aesthetic expression in printmaking techniques and the unique qualities of glass are explored in this book. Many techniques are possible in working with glass and print. By Kiln-forming glass, printed imagery can be sandwiched within a glass form. Relief surfaces can be created by casting glass into molds taken from relief printing blocks. In glass blowing, prints can be enclosed within the glass and blowing into three-dimensional shapes. Images can be directly screen printed onto sheets of flat or architectural glass.
