  Written by a specialist glass painter who has worked on commissions for notable buildings such as Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral, this project-based guide and reference explains traditional and modern techniques of stained glass. It contains 36 projects - such as decorative panels, mirrors, vases and lamps - graded in difficulty, taking the reader through the basic steps to more advanced ways of using glass. Traditional leading, glasspainting and staining are demonstrated and advice is also offered on the use of more contemporary techniques which include copper foil, glass applique and fused glass. A concluding chapter looks at the heritage of stained glass through the centuries, in both ecclesiastical and domestic surroundings.
