Kiln forming glass—melting cut or crushed glass together in a kiln until it becomes a single piece and shaping the glass with molds—has quickly become one of the most popular subjects in studio glasswork. This comprehensive introduction features projects both beautiful and practical that are sure to appeal to all beginning glassworkers. It covers all of the fundamentals, such as fusing, slumping and draping, as well as some intermediate and advanced techniques, including pot melting, inclusions, mold-making and more. There’s also advice on decorative surface treatment of the finished piece, and an invaluable troubleshooting section. Nineteen exquisite projects, arranged by skill level, range from home décor items, like a wall sconce and fountain, to sculpture, and even an amber glass pendant.

Brenda Griffith began kiln forming glass in the mid 1980's in Missoula Montana. In 1987 she moved to Chicago, Illinois, and launched Siyeh Studio--christened for her favorite area in Glacier Park, Montana. Griffith's work is an eclectic mix of functional glass vessels and collaborative glass and aluminum and glass and steel art. She is a two-time NICHE Award finalist in the category Fused Glass. In addition to producing Siyeh Studio glass, Griffith writes, teaches, and mentors. She is the author of "A Beginner's Guide to Kiln Formed Glass" and "Kiln-Formed Glass: Beyond the Basics", and she has been a contributing writer for Glass Patterns Quarterly, and Profitable Glass magazines.
