DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Thomas C. Very good book. Etched glass design book squire I picked up a copy of this book for 2 reasons. First is that I was fortunate to have attended a glass etching seminar given by Norm the year before he passed. I had a great time, as well all did, learned a lot, and each of us brought about ten projects home. I originally did this as my goal was to place my poetry on slate. Thanks to Norm, it has grown to include many other materials beyond use of poetry, including many different aspects of glass design. The b. "Great resource" according to Elisa. This book was more than I expected. My fiancé is just started etching and this book gave him some great techniques.
In easy to follow steps, renowned glass etching instructors show how to safely use inexpensive abrasive and chemical etching methods for surface etching, carving and shading to transform ordinary glass objects into stunning works of art.'
This is a guide by professional glass-etching instructors for doing abrasive etching, a process similar to sandblasting, or using etching cream, a safe, inexpensive chemical compound. . Step-by-step instructions are given for techniques, and a chapter on equipment and safety is included. Color photographs of professional artists' works are interspersed throughout the text as examples. This is intended for professionals and is suitable for larger crafts collections.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
