Item Name: Glass Forming with Mold Block System SKU: BK131 Description: This instructional book teaches glass forming techniques using the Mold Block System, a modular approach tha t uses mold blocks to build custom dams and shapes for kilnformed glass. It is written by Petra Kaiser. ISBN-10 0919985580. ISBN-13 978-0919985582. The book explains how to arrange and use mold blocks to create repeatable forms, control glass flow during firing, and produce consistent shapes without needing a single-purpose mold for every design. It is used when you want flexible forming options for slumping and shaping glass in a kiln with a system that can be reconfigured for many projects. How it is used: Use this book as a project and technique guide while setting up mold block layouts for kilnforming. Follow the instructions to build the mold block arrangement for the shape you want, then fire your glass according to the project guidance so the glass softens and forms into the defined space. This approach is especially useful for experimenting with new shapes, producing small runs of consistent forms, and learning how dam height, spacing, and heatwork affect the final profile of the glass.
