Can someone recommend a book on warm glass casting?
I want to try to cast a figure of a person in glass about 6 inches high.
I saw books listed on the subject but I will have to order the book.
Some of the books had mixed reviews.
Can somebody recommend a book that covers:
the lost wax process,
investment,
types of glass,
and annealing schedule

Beveridge on my shelf is a lovely book with lots of details and a rotten index. Lark Books.
Although it does have a lot of detail on pate d'verre, it has nothing on lost wax or investment. I don't recall if Lundstrom's 3rd book on kiln casting does - it may be in the library.
If you want some notes on investment and lost wax casting, here are mine, although I was doing metal to do glass into, I am told same stuff for glass and plan on trying. Caution: investment is nice because unlike plaster it washes off after firing, but it is very weak and must be contained in some form - I use large diameter metal conduit and stainless sheet held in shape with SS hose clamps
