Praise for the previous editions:
"... not only highly informative, but is easy and fun to read as well. . . .This book combines all the information you could want on setting up your own studio, buying or making tools and equipment, who and where the suppliers are, and much much more ... In short, this book is a must for anyone interested in learning about or how to lampwork. I highly recommend it." –Robert Carlson, Glass Artist and Instructor
"Bandhu's use of graphics is nothing short of brilliant. . . this book is sure to become the standard by which all future books on lampworking will be measured."
–Common Ground: Glass Magazine
"The glassforming exercises and techniques are particularly well suited to the contemporary studio artist because they inspire and open doors to creativity. The techniques will allow you to make anything you can imagine ... this is a true teaching manual. It is not a repeat of earlier how-to books." –The Independent Glassblower Magazine
