500.542 Architectural Glass Art

Andrew Moor's second book, 'Architectural Glass Art', concentrates on the work of eight contemporary designers: Danny Lane, Jose Fernandez Castillo, Stephen Knapp, Ed Carpenter, David Wilson, Brian Clarke, Graham Jones, Narcissus Quagliata and Jamie Cooper.

The author provides a clear introductory description of the processes of glass-making, and an explanation of the differences between kiln-formed and stained glass. Devoting a chapter to each of the artists, Moor describes the different treatments used to decorate glass, such as acid-etching, bevelling, the sandwich technique (holding pieces of antique glass between layers of plain float glass), dalle de verre (chunks of glass embedded in concrete or epoxy), and slumping.
