From Library Journal
This book presents the fundamental techniques of working with stained glass and is intended for those getting started in the craft. Excellent color photographs and diagrams show materials and tools, as well as the cutting, assembling, and soldering of glass items. The projects, created by crafters Mitchell and Ward, include hanging glass panels, boxes, and lamps. All have pattern diagrams and technical tips for construction but no step-by-step instructions. This is a good book for use with classes of beginning glass crafters.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

If you've ever stood transfixed in front of a glowing rose window or been intrigued by the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, you'll be thrilled with these techniques and projects. Choose from 30 decorative designs, including: light-catching lampshades, kaleidoscopes, hanging decorations and suncatches, patterned boxes, windows, and more.

Instructions shed light on basic copper-foil and leaded-glass techniques, selecting and cutting glass, making patterns, safety tips, and other illuminating topics. Each project is shown in glorious color - only a fraction as magnificent as it will be in your own home.
