"Dr. Carberry presents both novelty and scientific glassblowing in an easy to read text. These two distinctly different genres of glassblowing coexist, each to the other’s benefit. At least a third bigger and loaded with color photographs this new edition will greatly aid the beginning student in finding the joy that working hot glass can bring."

Robert Ponton

"Each operation in the book is well defined in easy to understand plain language accompanied by numerous high quality photographs."
"While this book is intended to be used with the aid of an instructor a student looking to pick up basic glassworking techniques on his or her own could just as easily use it. The step-by-step "cookbook" approach makes learning these basic techniques a reasonable expectation."

"This Third Edition is a must for an individual attempting to learn on his or her own. Instructors of glassblowing classes should consider adding this to the class materials used. The combination of novelty and scientific glassblowing will help to keep beginners enthusiastic and focused.

 

Dr. John Cragel

Professor of Chemistry, Dept. Chair and Glassblower (Hiram College)

"The color edition you sent me is absolutely beautiful. The text is stunning, and the color photos are absolutely the best. I will continue adopting your text as long as I teach my glassblowing course."

"Your photo work with Glassblowing is remarkable. Good glass photography is extremely difficult because of reflections in the glass and the wide color range from ultra-blue to infrared. Yet you have completely mastered it in this book. Great work!" "Your photo work with Glassblowing is remarkable.
