Lettering on Glass

Very often beautifully engraved designs on glass are spoiled by poor lettering because, though the artist knows how to draw, he does not know the fundamentals of producing good letters. In this book, Charmian Mocatta discusses the basics of lettering, significant properties of glass such as translucence and color, and the techniques such as engraving and sandblasting by which letters can be put on glass. This is a practical handbook which uses the artwork of internationally known glass artists to illustrate the text.

Announcing Glass Handbooks

The Glass Handbook series was conceived as an introduction to various topics and techniques relating to making glass. The books are aimed at the student or the practised glassmaker who is experimenting in a new area.
