Aimee McCulloch, an accomplished modern glass artist, goes beyond traditional stained-glass techniques and makes glass into modern and contemporary works of art. Readers will enjoy that contemporary focus in this complete guide as she first teaches beginner stained-glass skills (cutting glass, soldering, etc.) before launching into 10 ambitious, exciting, and inspiring projects that can be displayed at home or given as gifts. By learning each of these techniques, readers will be able to continue working and experimenting with stained glass to combine techniques and create your own special designs. With McCulloch's help, aspiring stained-glass artists can combine new, contemporary techniques with historical ones to bring this popular art form into the present day.
