Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The rise of the individual artist, new technology, and the growing interest in stained glass as a hobby craft have all lead to what is being called ?a new golden age in glass.? Modern homes are frequently embellished with spectacular beveled glass entryways, stained glass bathroom windows, and Tiffany-style lampshades. New artists are combining, creating, and developing unique new forms and styles every day.

Drawing from 30 years of experience, author Dan Alfuth has developed a must-have reference for beginners interested in the art of stained glass. Novice artists can avoid the high costs of commercial stained glass by handcrafting masterpieces of their own. Readers refer to more than 200 color photographs, accompanied by easy-to-understand instructions and full-size patterns, to successfully complete a few simple projects. Explore each step of the stained glass-making process with this "timeless reference guide."

* A straightforward approach to teaching stained glass-making techniques * More than 200 color photographs and easy-to-understand instructions to handcraft projects * Artists? gallery with numerous inspirational pieces

About the Author
Dan Alfuth, having created and designed numerous lamps, windows, and window hangings, has more than 30 years experience working with stained glass. He has also made appearances at various art shows to demonstrate his craft. Dan and his family reside in Scandinavia, Wisconsin.
