 Pate de Verre and Kiln Casting of Glass, by Jim Kervin and Dan Fenton
Pate-de-Verre is a glass sculpturing technique dating back to the ancient Egyptians, where crushed glass is fused back into a solid three dimensional form. The process is technical, but the results are dramatic and rewarding. This comprehensive book takes the mystery out of pate-de-verre and kiln casting with easy to follow instructions, diagrams, and investment formulas. You'll learn how to make models from wax, clay, and other organic materials, mix and cast investment molds, glass preparation, firing and annealing schedules, as well as safe practices for materials and equipment. The best how-to book on the subject to date! 198 pages.
