Recreate the unmistakable style of Art Nouveau with 20 stunning glass painting projects inspired by celebrated artists of the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period. These fabulous projects, for personal use, decorative display or to give as gifts, draw on the work of key artists of the period 1890 to 1930, including William Morris, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, William De Morgan, Klimt, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Walter Crane, Charles Annesley Voyse and Clarice Cliff. All the basic tools and materials to complete the projects are explained in detail, while the basic techniques are comprehensively covered, demonstrated through illustrated, step-by-step instructions. Each project is detailed using step-by-step instructions and photography with a styled picture of the finished piece providing inspiration and further guidance. An extensive motif library provides templates for the designs, ideal for the beginner, and more experienced glass painters will love the challenge of the more complicated designs. Hints and tips are even given for adapting the motifs to suit any project.
