The decorative possibilities of stained glass have fascinated people for centuries. Inspired by the rich beauty of stained glass windows, glass painting successfully emulates the effect of stained glass with coloured paint and outline paste or lead. Other techniques such as etching and using coloured film can also be effective - it is this versatility, combined with its practical and decorative qualities, which makes glass painting such a satisfying hobby. Glass Painting Projects is a practical and inspirational book which takes the simple yet dramatic craft of glass painting beyond the realms of decorated jam jars and into the worlds of home decorating and interior design.
Beginning with a comprehensive guide to all the materials and equipment you need to get started, the book then gives detailed instructions accompanied by step-by-step photographs for all the essential techniques. The basics such as applying lead or paste outline, painting glass, and using coloured film are covered, as are related techniques such as etching and decorating with mirror mosaic, beads and gems.
There are over 20 varied and exciting projects to create, including beautiful and functional objects such as a William Morris firescreen, an Art Deco clock, floral door and window panels, a Tiffany-style lampshade, a mosaic mirror, beaded cupboard doors, etched glassware, and a fun castle headboard. There are projects for every room in the home, in a wide range of styles transforming plain glass items of every kind into brilliantly coloured show pieces. A template of the featured piece and alternative design templates are provided for each project.
A comprehensive suppliers and resources list complete this practical and beautiful book which takes glass painting on to new and exciting levels of creativity. The innovative projects and specially commissioned photographs are guaranteed to inspire craft and home decorators of all ages and abilities.
