Creative Glass Blowing

Rating:
Summary: Good overall reference to glass blowing and glass history
Review: Wonderfull introduction to the art and science of glass blowing, and also the best introduction to the history of glass and glass technology that I've seen.

It covers the tools and techniques to get started, down to the experiment of making your own glass.

It covers the chemestry of not only the traditional glasses, but also borosilicates, lead glasses, and others.

Well worth having, with many clean "How to" illistrations.
(And some very nice pictures of glasswork.)
