Book Description
Freelance writer Miller introduces 30 contemporary artists in a volume that suggests the versatility of glass and engenders curiosity about glassworkers' techniques. She describes the glass artists' community in the Pacific Northwest and records brief statements by the artists; freelance photographer Lyons's color portraits of the individuals and their work illustrate the text. Sonja Blomdahl, who makes symmetrical vessels, Dante Marioni, whose goblets are featured, and Benjamin Moore, who creates lamps, have mastered the art of glass-blowing. Others take the medium in other directions: several employ cast glass in multimedia sculpture, some explore political and personal issues by painting on glass surfaces. Ruth Brockman decorates her intricate, spiritually oriented creations with brightly colored enamels; Richard LaLonde crushes and fuses glass to make vibrant mosaics. This dazzling sampler bears witness to glass's creative applications beyond both the functional and the decorative.

Book Description
In Contemporary Stained Glass Artists, Kate Baden Fuller focuses on individual stained glass artists and their unique approaches to their work. Her survey of these contemporary artists features not only their favoured techniques but also their individual philosophies, sources of inspiration and influences. Recent developments in stained glass reflect not only the new types of glass that have been developed in the past 30 years, but also the adoption and use of techniques from other creative disciplines (such as print, and resist and masking), as well as imaginative new uses of traditional techniques such as etching and sandblasting. This highly illustrated book will appeal not only to glass artists but also to anyone interested in glass and indeed in modern design. It provides a unique insight into the thoughts and ideas that produce some of the finest contemporary examples of stained glass.
