Written long before the availability of "tested-compatible" fusing glasses, this book contains a wealth of information for anyone interested in creating "warm glass"art. "This book is a comprehensive study in the techniques of decorating and designing on glass... In 1947 Maurice Heaton, Frances and Michael Higgins, Earl McCutchen and others began to develop a new method of working with glass... they began to cut commercially available plate and window glass to the shape of a mold. When fired in the kiln, the glass sagged to take on the shape of the mold, without becoming molten. "In this book Harriette Anderson tells how to make beautiful glass objects - trays, plates, etc - in a language a layman can understand, and in step-by-step procedures she describes materials needed, how to make the molds, decorate and fire the glass. "The first chapters discuss equipment and preparation; one chapter fully explores... the many types of colorants - glass and enamel powders, oils, glazes. Then various techniques of decorating are explained: laminating, sgraffito, embossing, and even designing with bubbles. Mrs. Anderson devotes full chapters to silk screen printing on glass and to firing schedules, taking into consideration the type of glass used and the kiln that it is fired in, and covers completely the special explanations of how glass is annealed and how to accomplish this." Dustjacket is scuffed and bumped. Back of DJ is tattered along the top edge, with pieces out at the corners, and has a 3 inch cut about midway down the book. Corners bumped and worn.   Binding is solid. Contents are complete and clean, with no underlining, highlighting, or notes. A very good copy of this helpful, hard-to-find how-to book.
