In Annealing: Concept, Principles, Practice, Stephen Richards offers a clear and comprehensive guide to understanding and adapting annealing schedules for the wide range of variables encountered in kilnformed glass. While standard schedules provided by glass and kiln manufacturers offer a useful starting point, they often fail to account for the many factors that influence annealing—such as form, thickness, colour combinations, re-firing, casting, and more.

Annealing is more than just holding at a specific temperature; it’s a carefully managed cooling process that prevents internal stress and ensures the structural integrity of the finished piece. Yet the core concepts and principles behind this essential process are often overlooked.

This 94-page ebook presents a detailed explanation of the science of annealing, and a practical framework for developing and evaluating schedules suited to your unique projects. It's an invaluable resource for kilnformers seeking to create strong, reliable work with greater confidence and control.
