Product Review

Melissa Penic is an artist who loves to investigate in the studio. Between teaching for the local college and hosting students in her home studio, she has witnessed lots of success and some frustration with the projects that her students tackle. This manual is designed to encourage fused glass workers to contemplate new methods to use and re-use their glass supplies and maximize the rewards of creativity. She believes in economy in both effort and finances, so discovering wonderful effects that do both are a double bonus. With economy in mind, Melissa Penic has made an effort to avoid using any unnecessary tools that might not be needed, while maintaining a professional quality in the finished projects. Beginners might not recognize all the techniques mentioned, but an overview is offered to ensure satisfaction. Some projects overlap instruction that will be covered in future volumes...these are noted and hopefully will excite each artist to continue finding exciting methods for unique creations.
