I am a novice in stained glass...I know the fundamentals of cutting, soldering, finishing, etc.. What this book provides is some really cool extensions and applications of the basic skills. There are awesome designs that will be great in any garden either as a gift or, if you are an artist looking to produce pieces, works that will sell themselves.
I have been working with stained glass for awhile now,and I am always looking for new ideas.I could not afford the classes and materials,so I got hired on in a glass shop.Now,I make things all the time,for other people.This book gave me some some great ideas of things to make for the garden.Flowers don't last forever,but glass looks beautiful and lasts for a long time.I love the sprinklers,I think they are lovely!
This is the second book I have from these two author/artists. I have enjoyed both immensely! They have clear instructions, wonderful pictures and terrific projects that are different.
This book has all kinds of information, from basic tools, materials and procedures used, to instructions for making your own light table to work on. Includes patterns from simpler plant stakes and candle holders, to really extravagant lawn sprinklers. Awesome book, good for beginners and the more experienced. Don't know why they chose that cover photo, it is nowhere near the best or prettiest project in the book.
Nice book, clear pictures, glossy pages, good ideas. Most of the projects are large and time consuming. Need to have other talents to make a few of the projects, eg need to be able to work with copper pipe, (cut, solder). A book more for advanced craftspeople.
A beautiful book full of georgous projects. Recommend to any stained glass enthusiast. Not for beginners.
My mother used to do stained glass years ago. Now that she has just entered her retirement, she is looking to pick it back up. She and her husband are also really into gardening. This made a perfect gift for her, and she could not stop raving about how much she loved all the projects within.I didn't realize at the time I bought the book, but the title refers to the fact that the projects are garden themed as well as being for garden and a "garden of" projects. This made it all the better! Very creative, and a lot of new type of projects that a more traditional glass worker (like my mother back in the 80s) hadn't seen before (she doing mostly lamps and hanging window light catching displays).
A user-friendly book. The projects vary in experience levels but all are unique and exciting to work. Clear and easy to follow instructions - a true gem for stained glass students as well as garden art lovers.
