Beginner's Guide to Stained and Decorative Glass
“It would be difficult to find a better template for an easy-to-use crafts book. First, the color photographs are large and incredibly detailed. Second, the nearly 20 projects and instructions are layered in terms of difficulty and techniques. Third, the artist’s jargon is carfully defined, and directions, clearly elucidated....A very welcoming introduction.”—Booklist.

Shimmering, brilliant lampshades to throw rainbow light on rooms, pretty painted bowls to display, decorative mirrors to enhance a wall: nothing is more beautiful than stained glass. And, with these start from scratch instructions that lead you through all the materials and techniques, even beginners can create their own pieces! Make the craft of coloring glass as simple (or as complicated) as you like: painting is easiest, yet yields such wonderful objets d'art as a vase covered with wonderful swirls and overlapping hues. (Just dip the glass into water with paint floating on top, remove, and dry.) With etching, even the plainest jar can look exquisite: try the graceful sailboat design and show it off on a sunny sill. Turn the Christmas table festive with a cut glass holly wreath or construct a terrarium. Plus: advanced projects like a Tiffany style painted lampshade that use all the techniques!
