From venerable medieval cathedral windows to coveted Tiffany creations, the popularity of stained glass has endured for centuries. Heres the ideal teaching guide for beginners in this art, with advice on obtaining colored glass, tools, and materials.

 An excellent and informative book March 15, 2008
This is a very interesting book for everyone, from beginner to experienced stained glass artists, with an especially informative history of stained glass. It has been read twice since it arrived and it will be an important book I'll refer to many times in the future.
 This Book Is OK But May 20, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
No one had reviewed this book so I thought I might as well. First it is small in size 8x6 1/2" This is an OK book but it is no great shake. As a learning book there are much better books out there. As a reference book it's a better buy. It does cover most aspects of Stained Glass, such as Sandblasting,Painting,Leaded Stained Glass, Copper Foil and more. The directions are ok but the projects are all small sized so you will have to be able to resize anything you want to make from this book. It's well written and the photograpy is very well done. I will keep this book in my craft bookcase but will probably never open it again. If you want to learn how to do stained glass and you are new to the craft then check out Basic Stained Glass Making. It is an wonderful how-to book.
