Introduction to Glass - Craft, technology and art
Introduction to Glass is for everyone who works with glass, studies
glass or is just interested in knowing more about a fascinating subject.
An Introduction to Glass is primarily about contemporary Swedish art
and household glass. Short sections about the international scene and
industrial glass help set this context.
An introduction to Glass can be used
as a reference book or can be read from
cover to cover as a textbook. Or one can
just browse back and forth to get inspiration
and be seduced by the many gorgeous
images. A comprehensive index with over 1 700 entries makes it easy
to find what interests you.
