List of contents:
One hundred pages of schedules, formulated for both Celsius and Farenheit.
Includes rates of heating glass up, not just down.
Largely removes the task of calculating a schedule for each glass thickness.
Provides, on the one schedule page, the figures for different glass types.
Offers schedules based on glass thickness, on time and on purpose.
Lists common firing variables.
Provides a means of accommodating variables without calculation.
Relates schedules to kiln type and control type.
Includes schedules for glassblowing and lampwork.
Contains a further 100 pages of technical background information.
Incorporates an extensive glossary and bibliography.

Firing Schedules For Glass is divided into three parts. The first contains the fundamentals of glass firing, essentail for effective use of the schedules. The schedules themselves constitute the second part and the third features technical data to facilitate studio glass understanding and practice.

Firing Schedules For Glass takes much of the guesswork out of studio glasswork by making it easier to select the right schedule for the firing circumstances.
