Notes:
"A kiln firing process book one"--T.p. verso.
"There is a freshness of spirit and attitude when treating glass fusing like the American raku clay process. Splashing on a glaze or leaving large brush marks is a hallmark of raku. The shortness of time between executing the concept and the completion of the art piece keeps the process spontaneous and direct, a modern raku attitude"--P. 5.
Includes folded sheet with templates in pocket at back of book.
