OPTIC FLORA

Create a Garden of Optic Delights!

By now you probably know that we are both avid gardeners and draw a lot of inspiration from the natural world. In Optic Flora, our latest Vitrum Studio eBook, we wanted to use the techniques we developed in our Optic Topics series and find new ways to represent many of the plants we love.

We hope the techniques we’ve created for this book inspire you to explore your own connections to the plants you love. Carefully detailed and illustrated instructions will guide you through the projects and interesting variations on them.

Suitable for all levels of experience, Optic Flora contains over 90 pages of comprehensive instructions, more than over 200 photos and diagrams, and complete Firing schedules in both Fahrenheit and Celsius for all the samples and projects. Many of the projects are sized for smaller kilns, but all the techniques are easily adapted to any size piece.
