Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
There is more to stained glass than Tiffany, although few readers would argue about the merits of owning the genuine article. Di Spirito expands the visual and dictionary definition of what it means to put colored glass together. She begins by describing five types in addition to Louis Comfort's style--traditional (i.e., church), modern collage, mock, etched, and stained glass with grisaille. She then presents in-depth information on glass (choices and things to think about when selecting glass) and techniques. Six projects, one each for her identified types, are well positioned for both beginners and somewhat experienced crafters; a peacock, for instance, spreads its tail elegantly over a faux panel. The final touch is a panoply of thirtysomething pages filled with designs to copy. Barbara Jacobs

Excellent writing and illustrations!!,

This review is from: Stained Glass Workshop (Paperback)
This book not only covers the history of stained glass. It depicts the correct procedures in contemporary and traditional techniques. The illustrations and writing cover everything from the basic techniques to how to apply Grisaille. The section on the Collage style was very informative and exciting. Other sections cover how to effectively etch glass, the procedures required to design and complete a mock stained glass project and many more interesting and informative subjects. This is the book to own for the beginning hobbyist to the advanced stained glass artist.
