Book Description

April 28, 2006

Grow a glass garden—and beautify any space with the exquisite decorative items you’ve created. George W. Shannon and Pat Torlen, two master teachers and artists who run the On The Edge Glass Studio, offer an array of glorious patterns for stained glass flowers, butterflies, birds, birdfeeders, planters, lanterns, and mobiles. Using dozens of close-up photos, they teach all the basics of both copper foil and lead came construction, from materials and tools to how-to techniques.

A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

How to best combine two passions--in this case, gardening and stained glass? In their fifth book, Shannon and Torlen team to produce 28 different projects, all worthy of emulation. Breezing through the fundamentals squeezed into, unfortunately, too few pages, Shannon and Torlen feature elegant nature-inspired designs in two waves: one for lead came, the other for copper foil. Regardless of the technique, each project includes dimensions, number of pieces, glass required, other materials and tools, step-by-step instructions, a ready-to-enlarge template, and notes and tips (for instance, never leave a burning candle unattended). Applications are varied, such as window and garden panels, jiggle stakes, lanterns, mobiles, bird feeders, torchieres, garden sprinklers, even a Zen garden. And nature is well represented, from a bee and butterflies to snowy egrets and spiderwebs. Too bad the layout is cramped and the photographs way too small. Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars What I was looking for, January 21, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Stained Glass Garden: Projects & Patterns (Hardcover)
I am a novice in stained glass...I know the fundamentals of cutting, soldering, finishing, etc.. What this book provides is some really cool extensions and applications of the basic skills. There are awesome designs that will be great in any garden either as a gift or, if you are an artist looking to produce pieces, works that will sell themselves.

I have been working with stained glass for awhile now,and I am always looking for new ideas.I could not afford the classes and materials,so I got hired on in a glass shop.Now,I make things all the time,for other people.This book gave me some some great ideas of things to make for the garden.Flowers don't last forever,but glass looks beautiful and lasts for a long time.I love the sprinklers,I think they are lovely!

This is the second book I have from these two author/artists. I have enjoyed both immensely! They have clear instructions, wonderful pictures and terrific projects that are different.
