Contrasts: A Glass Primer

Contrasts: A Glass Primer presents a wide variety of remarkable glass objects in an accessible and lively format. These objects are grouped, as in a child's book of opposites, to illustrate highlights in glass history (factory/ studio, for example), characteristics of the medium (fluid/frigid), and ways of describing art in general (abstract/figurative). Above all, Contrasts is an invitation to creative seeing.
Contrasts: A Glass Primer is published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name on display at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, through November 2009.
