Education & Reference Crafts & Hobbies Art, Design & Photography
Frank Kulasiewicz’s vintage 1974 hardcover Glassblowing remains a sought-after reference for anyone curious about the art and engineering of free-blown glass. Clear explanations and crisp photographs walk hobbyists, students, and professional glassworkers through tools, furnace setup, and traditional techniques that still shape studio practice today.
This ex-library copy wears its history honestly: sturdy binding, original dust jacket, and the expected stamps plus tape marks inside the covers. A handful of pages show light thumbing, but the text block is tight and fully readable, offering an affordable entry point into the craft.
Collectors of retro craft manuals or artists expanding their glassblowing bookshelf will appreciate the 1970s aesthetic and practical instruction packed between these durable boards. From a smoke-free home, the book stands ready for reference, inspiration, or display.
