Item Name: Advanced Flameworking Volume 1 SKU: BK182 Description: Advanced Flameworking Volume 1 is a reference book for artists working with hot glass in the flame, first published in 2001. It is built as a photograph-rich technique and concept guide intended to develop a nuanced understanding of flameworking, with coverage that includes tools, basic fundamental techniques, borosilicate colors and how they work, using frits and powders for external embellishment, murrine cane, making simple and complex canes, using dichroic glass, the human figure, an introduction to the use of boro plate glass, and special effects. Author: Milon Townsend ISBN: 0-9708939-1-4 How it is used: This volume is used as a bench-side reference for planning and troubleshooting flameworked builds, especially when you are pushing beyond basic form-making into controlled color behavior, surface embellishment, cane and murrine construction, and layered effects with dichro and plate. It is particularly useful when you want a structured progression of topics you can practice in sequence, then revisit later as a diagnostic guide when a technique starts to drift or a material response changes with heat base, flame chemistry, or working rhythm.
