PRE-SALE!!! Order your copy before everyone else to receive it first! Digital copies will be sent on Tuesday, April 21.
Vitrigraph opens the door to endless creative possibilities in kiln-formed glass—but knowing how glass flows, stacks, and transforms during a pull is the key to turning molten glass into intentional design.
Vitrigraph Design Basics and Beyond is a practical guide for glass artists who want to move from simple pulls to thoughtfully designed cane, stringers, and murrini. This book walks through the foundational concepts of vitrigraph, including pot preparation, pull plates, safety, and glass flow, before progressing into more advanced design strategies used to create detailed patterns.
Inside, you’ll learn how to design and pull:
Concentric circle canes
Twisted cane and stringer designs
Pattern-pot murrini with controlled detail
Leaves, flowers, and natural elements
Rainbow, woodgrain, and decorative patterns
Custom pull-plate designs
The book also introduces the concept of “recipe cards,” providing clear diagrams, color references for Bullseye (COE 90) and Oceanside (COE 96) glass, and layer-by-layer stacking instructions that make even complex designs approachable.
Whether you're new to vitrigraph or ready to expand your design vocabulary, this guide will help you understand how glass moves—and how to use that movement to create consistent, repeatable, and beautiful results.
Packed with techniques, layouts, and practical tips from years of experimentation, Vitrigraph Design Basics and Beyond will help you turn creative ideas into stunning glass cane and murrini.
