Synopsis

The book begins with a Foreword by Tina Oldknow, Curator of Modern Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass. There follows an insightful historical introduction which gives context to the artist pages that fill most of the volume. One or two full-colour pages per artist display recent work with descriptive text and a brief documentary -- by either the author or the artist. Dunham's position as a colleague of the featured artists gives him a distinct perspective on the work as well as unique access to the makers and their process. Several of the lampworkers allowed themselves to be photographed while executing a piece, and the sequence of photographs illustrating their creative process adds to the reader's understanding and appreciation of the work shown. An illustrated glossary of lampworking terminology concludes the text, making this a valuable reference for anyone interested in lampworked glass. Over 75 artists are presented.
