BOTANIC TOPICS
PLANT PORTRAITS IN GLASS BOOK 1

Incredibly detailed, beautifully colored

plant portraits with glass powders.

You don't need to be an artist to create the beautiful plant portraits in this book. We fully explain all the uncomplicated steps of creating realistic plant portraits using only glass powders, a few simple tools, and a kiln.

We know and love plants, and this book illustrates the simple step-by-step directions we use to create accurate images of spring flowers.  We add in our tricks and tips to help you  produce beautiful, accurate portraits. These techniques can be easily adapted for plants of your choosing. 

We also illustrate several different ways of using these plant  images for a variety of unique projects,  ranging from simple serving ware to more elaborate sculptural pieces and wall panels that use new and unique display methods designed just for this book. 

Botanic Topics: Plant Portraits in Glass Book 1 contains over 110 pages of comprehensive instructions, complete with materials lists, and  over 315 photos and illustrations, plus a complete library of stencil patterns to create all the projects in the book. Firing schedules are provided in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
