Creating elegant, elongated patterns with the Ebb and Flow of Glass.

Stringer distortion goes on a wild ride, creating fascinating new patterns by changing the variables!  Optic Topics: Ebb and Flow, will take you through more than a dozen pieces, with complete diagrams, materials lists, and firing schedules.

Carefully detailed instructions guide you step-by-step through the projects and variations on them. We also provide detailed diagrams, many full-size, so that they can be used to help you with the layouts.

Suitable for all levels of experience, Optic Topics, Book 2: Ebb & Flow contains 101 pages of comprehensive instructions, over 214 photos and diagrams, and complete firing schedules in both Fahrenheit and Celsius for all the samples and projects. Many of the projects are sized for smaller kilns, but all the projects are easily adaptable.
