Mould Making for Glass (Glass Handbooks)

Mould Making for Glass (Glass Handbooks)

<p>Nearly all glass makers (unless they are blowing glass) need moulds<br>which can go in the kiln, as part of the process of creating their<br>work. Currently glass students and makers get their expertise and<br>recipes from lots of different sources, picking out the relevant bits<br>and pieces which they need from other glass and ceramic books. This<br>book aims to introduce all the mould-making techniques for casting<br>glass, with detailed information on materials, recipes for mould mixes,<br>methods and applications. It helps the student to learn which methods<br>are appropriate for different types of work, and covers all the basics<br>of how to make your mould. It also includes practical information on<br>sourcing, storing, using and recycling materials, and how to develop<br>your own recipes and methods for particular projects. It also covers<br>where to start with writing programmes for kiln firings including<br>annealing and cooling. It also contains images from well-known<br>artists working in cast glass throughout.</p>
