This is the only book you will ever need on glass painting. It's packed with 80 techniques covering everything from basic outlining to complex paint effects, from cutting glass to stamping colour onto it. The guide also covers lesser-known effects: how to etch glass, use gold leaf and create embossed effects. The 25 original projects range from a traditional mobile to a multi layered picture. For beginners to the craft there are plenty of simple projects, like the rainbow light bulb or the letter bottles to get you started. As you gain skills and confidence, you will be able to tackle the more advanced designs, such as the ocean aquarium or the etched and painted key cupboard. Clear step-by-step photography and stunning finished shots illustrate every project. In addition, every pattern used in the projects is included in the Motif Library, which offers 400 motifs ready to be traced off or photocopied and used to create both the projects shown and your own designs.

Alan Gear and Barry L. Freestone have been painting glass for 20 years and are experts in the craft. They have their own company, Rainbow Glass, and give highly popular courses in all aspects of glass painting. They contribute regular articles to Craftsman Magazine. This is their first book.
