Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a woodworker and decided to add some more options to my custom furniture. I did not have time to take costly courses in stained glass. This book was the easiest and best solution. The book explains all the basics of stained glass. The book demonstrates several tecqniques which gives the reader options to choose his/her comfort level.
Thanks to this book my first project was a 51 peice stained glass panel insert for a whine cabinet door.
Thanks Mrs. Payne for this wonderful book.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is the best. I had taken a class years ago and could remember the most part, just forgot the little parts. This book goes step by step. If I had never taken a class, I know I could have done any stain glass that is in the book. I looked thru a many of books to refresh my memory, but this is the best. I let my sister read it and she is ready to start cutting glass. If you are going to teach yourself or need a refresher course, this is the book.

I picked this book up when shopping for glass and supplies. It is a great overview of many different glass-working techniques. The language and pictures are just great. I've been working with glass for years, and really enjoyed reading through this. I appreciated the level of detail - enough to get started but not overly bogged down. I especially loved her technique for making glass boxes - very clever with great results. This would be a great gift for anyone considering trying out working with glass.
