Andrew Moor gives a thematic exploration of recent developments in stained glass, with a strong emphasis on its architectural uses. Up-to-date and with excellent illustrations, it is a useful summary of the current state of this exciting art-form and some of its leading practitioners.

This review is from: Contemporary Stained Glass (Paperback)

I was looking for some inspiration for some more modern glass projects. Something a bit more abstract than the typical pattern books full of flowers and humming birds and this book is about all there is on Amazon on the topic. Unfortunately it is more of a coffee table book that highlights some really large glass installations. Many pictures are stunning but its not very helpful for someone of modest means, time and skill looking to do something for their home.
