This dictionary is for all those who work with glass whether they are glassblowers, etchers, engravers, stained glass artists or industrial glass workers and be they professionals, amateurs, teachers or students. The book aims to cover both technical and artistic aspects of working with glass and though some historical developments are mentioned, the book presents neither a history nor artistic criticism of the subject.
The book is set out as an index of words and phrases covering technical terms, materials, equipment, processes and practices. Some of the entries are succinct definitions and others are detailed articles that illuminate the subject. Many of the entries are illustrated by photographs and diagrams. Also included are detailed appendices listing suppliers, schools providing glass courses, museums with good glass collections and a useful bibliography on the subject.
