Featuring over 40 projects from small sculptures to complex creations, this volume displays the range of glass cutting and design techniques and explains in detail how to achieve stunning results. The explanations are geared to both beginners and experienced crafters. Five patterns - a butterfly box, a Tiffany lampshade, a flower tray, and two abstracts - become the basis for learning two stained glass techniques: copper foil with lead and straight lead soldering. Each technique includes close-up photographs.
