Book Reviews of The Art of Fusing, Pictures in Glass
Book Review: Not worth the price -
Summary: 3 Stars
This is more of a booklet than a book. The binding is staples and the only color is the cover and an insert in the middle showing a photo of each project(most too small for details). The actual instructions for each project are limited to a B&W drawing that is shaded to indicate the layers of glass used and a few sentences with general instructions for that project. For example the project Seagulls on Pilings p36 shows a b&w photo of finished project (not helpful), a b&w drawing showing the layering, and these are the instructions..
*Wave lines and texture on the pilings are pulled stringer.
*Seagull's eyes are fine black frit.
*Beaks and the seagull in the sky are small scraps of glass. Use
clear iridescent or white wispy for the clouds in the sky.
*Pilings are wood-toned glass with stringers added for texture.
That's it.
No sizes are indicated, very few helpful hints(some need illustrations), and a very basic introduction to the process. So, if you are familiar with the process, understand the glass COEs (cause she doesn't explain that well), how to fire(that's not explained well either - she gives ranges depending on the size of the project but is vague about what a small or large project might be. 2x2? 4x4? 6x6? give me an idea!!) it's a simple patterns book. All of the projects are meant to be done in one firing - so very simple.
As a pattern book, it is decent - we will make many of the projects - some are simple enough for my kids. But, I would have been happy with it if I paid half the price - it's just not worth $18.
