Are you intrigued by the beauty of stained glass, but intimidated by the process? This book will melt away those fears and take you step by step through the process, starting with the basics. You'll learn to create beautiful frames, mirrors, candleholders, vases, mooncatchers, napkin holders, lighting pieces, and more -- all with a modern graphic appeal. You'll also be introduced to new trends, such as integrating exciting materials, embellishing your designs with etching and painting, and building easy custom forms that make creating three-dimensional projects a breeze. Find tips for carving foil and using lead to make unique, sculptural details. Learn about using "warm" glass techniques, such as fusing and slumping, to create projects that are made in small kilns designed for home use. The world of glass art is at your fingertips.
