Illustrated with over 250 full color photographs of processes, equipment, and works of art, this is the first extensive publication on coldworking techniques for the glass artist. It seeks to fill in the gaps in the documentation and knowledge of all aspects of coldworking by guiding the reader through a myriad of processes and techniques.

More than anything else, the aim of The Joy of Coldworking is to address the dread that many people feel about coldworking. With the proper instruction, equipment, and technique, it s not only possible to turn a good piece of glass into a great one, it s also possible to turn dread into joy.
