Mould Making for Glass (Glass Handbooks) by Angela Thwaites (Author)

Nearly all glass makers (unless they are blowing glass) need moulds

which can go in the kiln, as part of the process of creating their

work. Currently glass students and makers get their expertise and

recipes from lots of different sources, picking out the relevant bits

and pieces which they need from other glass and ceramic books. This

book aims to introduce all the mould-making techniques for casting

glass, with detailed information on materials, recipes for mould mixes,

methods and applications. It helps the student to learn which methods

are appropriate for different types of work, and covers all the basics

of how to make your mould. It also includes practical information on

sourcing, storing, using and recycling materials, and how to develop

your own recipes and methods for particular projects. It also covers

where to start with writing programmes for kiln firings including

annealing and cooling. It also contains images from well-known

artists working in cast glass throughout.
