    Kilnforming 101...and then some
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2010*

In this case, you CAN judge a book by its cover--A Beginner's Guide to Kilnformed Glass is a well-illustrated journey through the first year of serious kilnforming. Well-written and thoughtfully organized, it provides clear explanations of the tools, equipment, studio and materials you'll need to get started "fusing" glass. It moves through explaining basic techniques like glasscutting, layup (assembling glass or frit so that it will fuse into your design), firing and coldworking (shaping and polishing the fired piece). Don't be tempted to skip these chapters; I've been working glass for 15 years but even so, I found a few new ideas I could use in the studio. The author is a teacher, production glassmaker and artist who obviously knows her stuff (disclaimer: I've met her at several glassmaking functions so I knew she was good BEFORE I got the book).And then the fun starts. Where many books offer simple beginner's projects that LOOK like simple beginner's projects, the projects in this book produce sophisticated and often beautiful pieces of glass. The techniques required are relatively easy to master even if you don't have much experience with glass, and there's a point to them, i.e., one project helps you understand precision cutting, another what happens when you overfire thin glass, and yet another introduces making components for larger assemblies. There are the usual drapes, plates and potmelts too, but they're well-presented. The author includes templates for each project, but clearly encourages you to use them as a starting point for your own designs. (I'm making a note to myself to try that three-tiered water fountain; it looks cool)I do have a minor, minor quibble: This book is a good in-studio reference, especially while you're working on a project, but it's hard-bound and the pages have trouble staying flat; if there's a second printing a spiral-bound might be useful.

    Good for beginning
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019*

While this is a good starter book with interesting projects, the author's more advance book is much better.  The better book from Brenda Griffith is "Kiln-Formed Glass | Beyond the Basics."  The second book is a must read if you are serious about glass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Best resource out there
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2019*

Love the book, the samples, descriptions,  tech notes are superb.  Its regular binding not spiral bound however... I love spiral bound in the studio. I would have bought the hardcover instead had I known it was a tight bound spine that wont like flat without damaging g the book.
