Description:
Warm Glass: A Complete Guide to Kiln-Forming Techniques is a hardback, full-color instructional book focused on kilnformed glass processes, specifically fusing, slumping, and casting. It is constructed as a technique reference with step-by-step instruction and project examples intended to walk the reader through the full workflow of warm glass, from preparing compatible sheet and components, through firing schedules, and into finishing and presentation. This is the kind of studio book you reach for when you want reliable process structure, clearer troubleshooting, and a broader vocabulary of kilnformed forms that can complement lampworking, hot shop work, and mixed-media glass practice. Author information and ISBN are included for accurate reference and reordering.
How it is used:
- Use the fusing section to plan layered sheet builds, control tack fuse versus full fuse outcomes, and understand how heatwork affects edges, thickness, and surface texture.
- Use the slumping section to select molds, choose appropriate damming and separators, and shape fused blanks into functional or sculptural forms.
- Use the casting section to understand mold-based forming, loading strategies, and firing considerations for thicker glass masses.
- Apply the project examples as structured practice to build repeatable kiln habits, then adapt the forms into lampworked assemblies such as fused bases for torchworked components or kilnformed panels for coldworked and flame polished details.
