Title is a bit confusing. Great for those interested in flameworking. Not what I expected.

If you are intrigued by idea of melting glass in a torch and creating anything from little forest creatures to crystal goblets, this is the book for you. Homer lays it all out for you and gives you step by step instructions and diagrams to get you started. The projects in the book begin very simple and work there way to complex. You are led by the hand in an art that has been traditionally held secret.

I personally know many artists across the country that have taught themselves to "sculpt" glass in the torch with the aid of this book. It is a very thorough step-by-step approach to learning lampworking of glass.
