Welcome to Working With Glass!

Our purpose is to provide public resources for working with glass in many forms where all information is maintained by the glass community.

You will be able to find comprehensive documentation, tutorials, troubleshooting, history and more regarding the various fields of artistic glasswork for all skill levels.

This wiki is heavily a WIP!

If you see information that is missing, can be improved or wish to contribute new information please feel free to help out! You can find out more information on this by visiting our How to Contribute page.

Getting started with our resources

Glass is a rather large field so we have broken it down into district categories depending on what temperature the glass is being worked at. These groups will still have lots of overlap though as many glass workers will incorporate multiple methods as many of them are not mutually exclusive to their specific type of work.
