This is not a recommended purchase for someone wanting a hands-on introduction to the craft of stained glass. Although there are some chapters on techniques, it is very succinct and cursory, and definitely not a tutorial introduction. The value of this book is its comprehensive collection of works by internationally recognized stained glass artists. Examples of each artist are shown, and some commentary on technique is given. From this point of view, this book should be of interest to any beginner or advanced craftsperson looking for creative inspiration.
The book was good, I had expected more details to instructions. Disappointed that it was not all on stain glass. The author went on to fussing and covered it more it seems than stain glass. I didn't care about fusing or now. Just so you know if you purchase. Good , but not great..
This is one of the best books that I have purchased for my craft which is stained glass. With the desire in the future to move into kiln work for glass fusing and slumping, I was very happy to find very valuable information in this book for my future endeavors. This book has high quality glossy pages with excellent instructions. The photographs of work completed by Masters in the Art of Stained glass is mesmerizing and truly inspirational. I highly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed! The best part is that the cost is way below retail!!
Book is a nice reference. Has some original ideas and great photos of work from a variety of artists. Shipped quick. In great shape for a used book.
