About This Book

A practical handbook for students and practitioners that combines a historical survey of coloured and painted glass with detailed instruction in materials, cutting, painting, leading, and glazing. It stresses the inseparability of design and workmanship, arguing for thoughtful material selection, accurate draughtsmanship, and proper workshop practice to achieve rich colour and durable results. The text offers curriculum suggestions, pattern and drapery examples, diagrams and technical tips for apprentices, and commentary on restoration, finishing methods, and standards of craft.
