Glass Notes: A Reference for the Glass Artist
by Henry Halem
 


Reviewer: Lierath@compuserve.com from Berlin, Germany
Working with hot glass as an amateur, I find this book more than useful. The author has the ability to transfer know-how on dry subjects and many details in this book are exiting to explore. (even for a pro) A good mixture of design, pictures, hints and step by step instructions. Written in an easy to read, humorous style. It is worth every dollar. Highly recommended! Wish I had many books of this quality.

William Morris
by James Yood, et al


 


Book Description
Internationally acclaimed for his compelling work in glass, William Morris approaches the demands of glassblowing and glass sculpting with an experimental eye and an innovative hand. Morris, who lives and works near Seattle, has collaborated with master glassblowers as well as renowned painters and sculptors in making art that is widely admired by artists, sought by collectors, and praised by critics. For him, glass is an endlessly intriguing material -- fragile yet timeless, preserving the spontaneity of the creative moment unlike any other medium.

In this strikingly handsome volume of recent work, Morris explores themes related to archaeology, animals, and the hunt. His Crows, Ravens, and Rhytons embody his intellectual interest in myth and ancient history, as well as his keenly intuitive understanding of the natural world.
