Fiberglass for ArtistsSmall Works Technique 

I know what you’re thinking… isn’t fiberglass only for large-scale works requiring special equipment, hard to work with, and extremely hazardous? NO! It’s very accessible if you understand the material and how it works. This book explains what fiberglass is, examines the hazards, provides safety precautions, and then walks you through the entire process of using this medium for small-scale work. Take a look and try it for yourself!
