Book Review: Comments from a novice in stained glass
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I have purchased several books on the subject of stained glass intended for those of us who are just beginners. This was one of our more recent purchases. We've found it quite useful - perhaps because we're strictly focusing on the copper foil technique. We find ourselves constantly returning to the book to re-read sections for new ideas.In our experience thus far with the book, we've found that the author has provided us with a significant number of tips that we might otherwise have missed or else have had to spend a large amount of time doing something the wrong way when a subtle change in technique makes all the difference.
Like all introductory books, it does cover a variety of subjects. The variety of projects suggested in the book provide plenty of scope for experimentation. We wouldn't make this the very first book for beginners - for that we would pick the one by George Shannon and Pat Torlen. We wore the binding out of that one very quickly because of the amount of use it got! However, having gained a little experience with the copper foil technique, we've found we're now ready to take advantage of the additional techniques and suggestions provided by this author.
