• skinny glass, or firing single layers of 3mm sheet glass to full fuse and maintaining the original shape and thickness

• lip wraps, the coloured rim around the edge of a bowl

• finishing techniques including polished edges and preventing or repairing devitrification

• technical information needed to understand the processes and for problem solving

Regardless of the techniques you currently use, this book will enable you to include lines to enhance the design!
