Description
Attention Glass Lovers...Do you love glass artwork... the colors... the designs... and the unique feel of each piece?
Do you want to make glass... but don't actually know much about it? If so, then you've found the right book!
Glass has been around for centuries. And for most of that time, it's been a valuable luxury. Only in the last century has it turned into a common commodity. The Industrial Revolution made glass easy to produce and brought its cost down. But until then, it required skill to make, and thus was expensive. It was also an art.
Glass had, and still does, this semi-magical feel to it. When you look at a piece of hand-blown glass, you can't help but be captured by its beauty.
But most glass these days is machine made and lacks the same luster and beauty. And many people don't look to glass as an art anymore. But many others do...
Glassblowing is technical. That's true. But that's also what gives it its value and beauty. That being said, it isn't terribly difficult either, and anyone can do it.
Making glass can be a very rewarding experience. Just imagine looking at your pieces of art sitting in your home...Or in a gallery somewhere, with art loving patrons looking to add your master pieces to their collections.
Glassblowing brings glass back to its original grandeur...No longer a mere commodity, but something that took skill to make. And every piece has your fingerprint on it, with your unique way of making it.
Glassblowing doesn't have to be just about art either. You can make bottles and other glass objects for your house as well... Creating a unique feel for your home and environment.
