a head above the rest

I only bought this book after I've already learned the techniques in a class. I've bought it because I've seen it from someone else and I knew I have to have it. The explanations are very clear and easy to follow. I've even learned a few tips that the class instructor didn't mention. And most projects can be finished in a week-end. The projects are very beautiful and special, some based on optical illusions created by mirror pieces, and others on 3D geometrical play. Most can be used, not just toys to keep around the house and collect dust. And the toys make for amazing presents. By all means, go ahead and buy it.

An exceptional stained glass instruction manual.

I am a stained glass instructor and I highly recommend this book to all my beginner stained glass students. It is an exceptional stained glass instruction manual beneficial to hobbyists and advanced artists alike. The instructions are very easy to follow and the high quality photographs show each project very well. The authors have written an excellent book and I wait with anticipation for their next book on Mosaics!!

Great book for beginners

I'm a beginner stained glass "artiste", and I received this as a gift. I think it's great, has lots of tips that made me say "Oh, that's how you do it". I showed it to my instructor, and he was very excited about it, said it's a good book. I think it's well worth the money, it has simple panels, lamps, boxes and vases, something for everybody.
