  For centuries glass has been used as a medium for attractive and functional objects, and there is a great variety of different styles and decorative techniques. Until more recently, glasswork was very much in the realm of the professional, but now the availability of easy-to-apply paints means that glass decoration is within the reach of everyone, without the need for specialist equipment. This manual shows how to take advantage of this accessibility and produce beautiful and practical work of your own. A variety of basic and advanced techniques are used to produce functional objects such as decorated herb jars and nightlights and more ornamental pieces such as a heraldic bottle and a candle bowl.
