World of Glass: The Art of Dale Chihuly (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419736810)

In the children's book World of Glass, "Greenberg and Jordan, award-winning biographers of artists and architects . . . have another hit on their hands in this gorgeous work on American glass artist Dale Chihuly" (Booklist).

His crew calls him Maestro. Thousands of fans call him a magician. Over the past five decades, Dale Chihuly (b. 1941) has created some of the most innovative and popular works of art in museums and gardens around the world. Authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan met with Chihuly in his studio for exclusive interviews discussing his early life, his passion for glassblowing, and his dazzling works.

Lavishly illustrated with Chihuly's art and family photographs, this book discusses Chihuly's workshop and his glassblowing technique. The book includes a step-by-step look at how blown glass is created, a list of places to see Chihuly's artwork, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.

"An ebullient homage to an innovative, enduring artist." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"Both the story and the photographs are compelling. The importance of diversity and teamwork shine through the text, photography, and art." --School Library Journal
