Here's where we keep a lot of our "how to
work with glass" books. Glassblowing is NOT here. Neither is Lampwork
or Stained Glass, although you may find some books related to those
topics.
This is really the "catch-all" section of
our library - the section where we put books about glassworking
techniques that don't clearly fall into one of the other major
glassworking topics we collect.
Explore, discover, enjoy!
