In addition, 10 helpful tips are included. They cover several general interest topics such as:

Mould setup
The “low and slow” approach to slumping
Testing for chemical reactions
Strategies for reducing or eliminating bubbles; and
How to create “basic powder wafers”

The projects have been planned to require the fewest supplies possible. A simple colour palette of powders applies to multiple projects, and the projects are all of similar in size. This optimizes the use of sheet glass, powders, and moulds.

140 pages of clearly documented step-by-step instructions for the 8 included projects
133 quality images to accompany the instructions
2 appendices with detailed supply lists, both for individual projects and for all 8 projects combined
