Book: The Art of Fire: Beginning Glassblowing


Art of Fire


How to blow glass.

Offhand glassblowing not glassblowing with a torch.

Studio time is expensive. unfortunately, most glassblowing students still learn through a combination of apprenticeship and observation - which can be a slow and inefficient method. The Art of Fire teaches you quickly how to manipulate the glass through a series of structured lessons and exercises, including:

  • Saftey exrercises to prevent burns
  • Companion 4 DVD set with 5 hours of video instruction, $49.00 Option
  • Over 500 photographs and illustrations
  • Step-by-step instruction for all basic techniques
  • Fixes for more than 50 common problems
