Product Description
Architectural glass art plays an increasingly important role in contemporary building design-- both interior and exterior-- and outstanding examples of this spectacular and versatile art form are making a significant impact on our surroundings. From the modern stained glass tradition established in the twentieth century by such key figures as Frank Lloyd Wright, Marc Chagall, and Henri Matisse, there has sprung an ever-changing art form showing an increasingly wide and experimental use of techniques and new materials. No longer confined to decorative windows, the almost endless possibilities are being exploited by architects and designers worldwide for a prominent public and private clientele.

Author Andrew Moor begins by answering the most basic questions: What is glass art? How are the different materials distinctive? How and by whom is glass art made and installed? What is the artist's role? What do terms such as "float glass," "kiln glass," "flash glass," and "dichroic glass" mean? The book then presents a detailed survey of glass types and styles, from the simplest clear glass to the most complicated colored, carved, etched, and painted works of art.

Architectural Glass Art takes the reader through all the techniques and styles available today. Illustrations not only focus on the works themselves, but show how glass art is incorporated into public and private spaces as an integral part of a building's structure and style. Each chapter includes a special feature on a highly regarded international glass artist; discussions of their innovative designs are accompanied by examples of their work. Within the chapters the many different styles and techniques are illustrated with the works of a wide range of artists at the forefront of this art form. The final section of the book presents practical information including a glossary and an international directory of artists and studios.

Architectural Glass Art is an invaluable resource and inspiration for students, designers, artists, and architects-- everyone interested in the latest developments in the contemporary, artistic uses of glass.

Firstly the service from the Amazon people was excellent as usual, the book arrived quicker than I was expecting and I must say their postage rates are always very reasonable. Since I began buying from them 3-4 years ago, it has always a pleasure to deal with them.

I was amazed and pleased at how fast we received the book we ordered.The condition of the book was exactly like described.I was very pleased with the seller.Thank you so much!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Beginners guide for serious glass painters only
This book describes in detail the materials and techniques used in traditional kiln-fired glass painting techniques. The second edition (which I acquired) has updated material source listings (i.e. where to buy the paints, tools, etc.) and includes URLs which would have been missing from the original. If you ever wanted to make stained glass paintings like you saw in church as a child, this will show you how.

Note that this is a book on kiln-fired glass paints, and as such is not targeted towards those who want to be able to paint glass with resources commonly available around the house. Those looking to do crafsty glass painting should look for a different book on the subject.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Art of Painting on Glassby Albinas Elskus
This book is a more than an excellent tool in the revival of the lost art of Glass Painting. It informs us about the secrets closely guarded by artists and revealed only to family and trusted friends a few hundred years ago. It revived glass painting in the 1980 pubishing of this book, causingthis arts resergence in the glass movement of our times.

This book shouldbe given credit in a large part for the contribution in bringing thesecrets of important techinques in this beautiful and storytelling art.

This book is full of great information and photo explanations,clearlyand simply. A very important book for glass painters of all abilities. ... Read more

Product Description

For more than 75 years, the Penland School of Crafts has attracted the most creative crafters from across the globe‹and the Penland Book series is dedicated to showcasing the stunning work these very special artists create. This gorgeous new entry focuses on glass and the ten top contemporary flameworkers who have taught at the school, all of whom have areas of expertise that make them leaders in their field. These skilled masters offer a very personal perspective on their influences and work, with revelatory essays that present their views on flameworking and art in general. In photographic how-to sections of about 25-30 captioned images, each one demonstrates a particular technique, usually resulting in a finished piece. Liz Mears presents an assortment of surface treatments, showing four methods of sandblasting glass and ways to adorn the newly sandblasted surface. Paul Stankard conjures a naturescape in a phenomenal paperweight design, while Janis Miltenberger forms a majestic glass cage. The combined knowledge of these crafters, the thoughtful writing, and the one-of-a-kind pieces displayed in both the how-to sections and breathtaking gallery, will aid and inspire glass artists as well as collectors. The ten master-class teachers are Vittorio Costantini, Shane Fero, Ingalena Klenell, Kristina Logan, Elizabeth Mears, Janis Miltenberger, Susan Plum,Sally Prasch, Emilio Santini, and Paul Stankard.

5-0 out of 5 stars For all Glass Lovers
I purchased this exquisite book as a gift for our son, who has a great love for beautiful glass art.It is filled with great photography, wonderful info from the artists, and actual photos of glass art in production.He loved it, and I know he will enjoy this book for years to come.

4-0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book
I buy a lot of books on glass, but this is definitely the best I have ever read. I liked it so much I gave my first copy away (to a glass worker) and bought myself another one. The chapters are written by the world's best glass artists (eg Paul Stankard) telling us how they make their glass masterpieces. It was almost enough to inspire me to buy a furnace and get started! [...]

5-0 out of 5 stars My new favorite!
I have said this of only one other book to date; buy it now, because if it goes out of print and become unavailable, you will regret not having purchased it. (At least if you are someone who works with glass)
I don't know why I waited so long to get this book.I guess because I hadn't seen it.One day, while exploring in a brick & mortar store, I came across this book and was wowed; knew I had to get it.Of course Amazon charges 30% less, so I came home & ordered it.Now having physical possession of the book, I am even more impressed, enough to call it my favorite book in the area (and I have A LOT OF GLASS BOOKS).
The photography and overall quality of the book is wonderful.The images provide a pretty good survey of the top glass artist in the world right now, and several have generously provided step by step how-tos.
I really enjoyed reading their biographies and the personal insights into their own creative process provided by each of the contributing artists.
I think this book would be invaluable to anyone who works with glass, irrespective of their level, and to people interested in the arts in general.It is a wonderful survey of the top hot glass artists creating today.
I can't say enough good things about this book.
Bravo (Lark) very well done!

5-0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, fascinating document of modern glass excellence
The Penland Book of Glass is beautiful, filled with images of fantastic work from leading flameworkers. Just as importantly, the ten featured chapter artists each give fascinating and very well-written accounts of their lives and their work, providing tremendous insight into the artistic process and mind. I can't say enough about the quality of this publication. It is an heirloom-quality book you'll want to give as a gift to friends and family members, while keeping one on your own bookshelves.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best flamework book, beautiful gallery book
I've been lucky enough to take some classes at Penland, a vibrant home for craft work and life. This book--truly inspirational, capturing the artistry and soul of 10 amazing artists, filled with photographs of finished works and pieces being made--is a fitting testament to the flameworking part of Penland's glass program.

Far beyond the school itself, though, The Penland Book of Glass excels both as a gallery book and as a resource for deep, meaningful learning. Any fan of glasswork or fine artistry will find the book to be rich, abundant, and beautiful. It's a truly great book, easily and happily worth the price even during these times. ... Read more

I am new to enameling and I'm finding this my go-to book.The photos are beautiful and inspiring.Ms. Bachrach has given a great intro to the medium and the contributors have been generous with information about their process.

5-0 out of 5 stars This author knows enameling inside and out
I met Lilyan Bachrach at an Enameling Society conference about 3 years ago, and know that she is one of modern enameling's biggest supporters, as well as being a wonderful enamelist in her own right.I was delighted to add this new book to my personal library and to also put it into the reference library at the Columbus (Ohio) Cultural Arts Center where I teach enameling. One of the things I like best about this book is that it includes many different techniques and showcases the artists who do them. It is evident from my own experience that there is no "correct" way to work, and that is reflected here. This book is meant to encourage young enamelists just starting out, and to add new artistic life into more experienced ones, and it does an excellent job of both.Lilyan has years and years of experience and I appreciate how she has passed on her knowledge this way.

3-0 out of 5 stars Interesting book for enamellers
