Firing Schedules for Glass provides
firing schedules in the form required for computers and digital kiln
controllers, but the information is also extremely relevant for
"manual" firings. By taking the guesswork out of glass firing
and making it easier to select the right schedule for any circumstance, this
book is an invaluable tool for the glass artist.
Firing Schedules for Glass
is divided into 3 parts. The first contains the fundamentals of glass
firing, essential for effective use of the schedules. The schedules
themselves constitute the second part of the book and the third features
technical data to facilitate studio glass understanding and practice.
Important Note: This book is
comb bound, with over 200 black and white pages. The beauty's in the content, not the
presentation.
