I look forward to the release of their next book. This book is a great one for learners and pros alike. The patterns span many design eras and it is a good tool for demonstrating to clients and friends what is possible, pattern-wise, for a project. Full Size Templates. This book covers a wide range of techniques and is an excellent book for beginners and also has some things to offer the intermediate glass artists.
Many pictures offer step by step examples of techniques as they are explained in the text.
Contemporary and well layed-out. This lavish book leads the reader on a tour of the history of stained glass in the city of Chicago, including both secular and ecclesiastical stained glass art. We have tried to illustrate through the text and the accompanying photographs what it takes to successfully create a stained glass project from a beginner's point of view. Each technique includes excellent close-up photographs of the cutting, trimming, welding, and sealing processes, with enough text to guide unsteady hands.
