In recent years, kiln forming has taken over from glassblowing as the major glass art form. This book follows on from the author's previous title, Techniques of Kiln-formed Glass (1997), which was a guide to methods and techniques. This new title looks at the artists putting these techniques into practice. It is an overview of the contemporary scene and most of the book showcases and profiles the work of about 50 international glass makers creating kiln-formed glass work.
Contemporary Kiln-formed Glass also discusses the latest developments in the field in terms of materials and methods over the last 10 years. It also looks back at the fascinating history and background of glass in the art world, and uncovers new research into Amalric walter, one of the most innovative artists to develop glass in 3D forms in the kiln.
