It was originally published in Spanish in 1999 and then in English in 2002. It covers every step of working with glass and has, for example, a most comprehensive section on cutting glass with pages of colour photographs to illustrate the various techniques.
An incredible detailed book covering all the aspects of working with stained glass. We are unable to fault this book in any way, except to say that its copper foil section is not so comprehensive. The techniques of assembling complex lamp shades are not covered. We would classify this as a technical reference book for stained glass artists. |

It covers the making of glass jewellery using fused stained glass. I think it covers everything:

This book uses what it calls "The Component Method" to construct window designs. It takes part of a pattern, that can be traced or even drawn, adds it to others, and builds up the design. The book builds on this basic stepping stone with many excellent design and construction tips throughout and has a number of well illustrated examples of all the points it raises. Includes a number of design components in full size components. |

Now this IS a good book! It has about forty seven designs, all shown in colour and with black and white line drawings. The theme is mostly modern, but with strong traditional influences. The book has a superb section on how to make your own window designs, hence the name GRIDS. My favourite designs are the Light House on page 12, and the Fruit Floral side light on page 4. This latter is a very detailed panel and will take some making. Two fantastic designs. How do we rate this book?
