This is a comprehensive guide to the basic techniques and
equipment: all you need to know, from tinning an edge, painting and
etching to simple home cutting, delicate folk painting and frosted
patterning. The beauty of decorative glass is celebrated in
practical, inspirational designs such as herb jars, nightlights,
poem vase, copper foil mirror and a stylish Alhambra picture frame.
It features examples of the finest glasswork from contemporary
craft artists and designers. It presents the definitive modern
approach to a traditional craft, with every stage clearly
illustrated with photographs in step-by-step instructions for 25
superb projects. It features over 300 photographs of the finished
projects so you can what you are aiming at. The availability of
easy-to-apply paints in an exciting range of colours means that
glass decoration is within the reach of everyone, without the need
for specialist equipment. By mastering a few simple skills, you can
turn everyday objects into attractive pieces. Here you will find 25
practical projects to inspire you, presented in an easy-to-follow
step-by-step format. A variety of basic techniques includes
etching, painting, stained-glass construction, wirework and
glass-cutting, which are then applied to decorate functional
objects such as decorated herb jars and nightlights, and ornamental
pieces such as a heraldic bottle and a candle bowl. Further
inspiration is provided by the gallery section, in which leading
craftspeople display their work, from stained-glass effect mirrors
to gilded bowls. This comprehensive guide shows you how to create
beautiful objects in a classic medium.
