520 $aWhat could be more different than the icy arctic landscape and the hot blast of a glass oven? James Houston, explorer, artist, and writer, draws the inspiring connection in this fascinating introduction to one of the world's most ancient - and most beautiful - arts. During the years that James Houson lived in the Arctic, he was impressed above all by the resource people. But he also fell in love with the rugged treeless land, the winter moonlight shinging off the snow and ice, the majestic ever-changing shapes, and the great signing of new-formed ice. When asked to design glass sculptures for Steuben, he left his isolated arctic home, with some misgivings, to mvoe to the heat of a crowded New York summer. As he learned the art of glass sculpture, he found an affinity with life in the Far North. After all, glass is a liquid that hardens, much like ice. The jagged shapes reflect the arctic landscape. Glass making depends on small teams of cooperative craftspeople, much like the Inuit families as they hunt and create their art together. This very personal story is a stunning introduction to glass making, and to an extraordinary individual. -- From dust jacket.
