In recent years, kiln forming has overtaken glassblowing as the major glass art form. While glass blowing requires the quick manipulation of molten glass, kiln forming allows artists to handle and shape glass at much lower temperatures. This slower method of transforming the unique synthetic material provides for greater control and many exciting creative possibilities. Kilnformed glass makers can employ lost wax, molds, casting, painting, and multimedia construction to produce works ranging in size from tiny objects to largescale installations.Artist Keith Cummings described these practical procedures in his classic book, Techniques of Kilnformed Glass. In his new book, Contemporary Kilnformed Glass, he profiles the talents who have turned these techniques into art. The book gives an overview of the contemporary scene, showcasing the work of 51 international glass makers. These leading artists discuss their individual methods and philosophies, complemented by fullcolor photographs of their work. Contemporary Kilnformed Glass discusses the latest developments in materials and methods. It also looks back at the fascinating history of glass in the art world, and reveals new insights into the work of Amalric Walter (18701959), master of pat de verre and one of the most innovative artists to develop threedimensional glass forms in the kiln. Handsomely illustrated with over 200 color photographs and thoroughly researched, Contemporary Kilnformed Glass is a major reference for glass art practitioners and art collectors alike.
