Sandblasted into beautiful shapes, held together with seams of copper foil, and capturing the light through transparent colors: here are the full, breathtaking range of art glass techniques and over 20 magnificent decorative objects to make! With these patterns and how-tos, aspiring glass-crafters can construct a lovely Stylized Poppy Cabinet Door Insert, a Falling Leaves Wall Mirror, a Touch of Frost Window Panel, a Harvest Lamp Shade and Vase, plus hinged boxes, candle holders, torcheres, and patio lanterns.

From Booklist
As an art form, glass, the earliest synthetic material, seems to fade in and out of fashion. Today, with a resurgence of interest in things Tiffany and Frank Lloyd Wright, this sand-based substance is appearing in decorations throughout the house--in mirrors, panels, doors, tables, lamps, and other places. Canadian authors Torlen and Shannon explain the how-tos of leading, copperfoiling, and sandblasting, all by way of more than 20 patterns. Equipment, materials, and methods are covered in introductory sections; the actual projects are illustrated with color photographs, graphs, and, when needed, process diagrams. Designs are simple, composed usually of lines and gentle curves, ranging from flowers to art deco-type angles. Cramped layouts occasionally detract from the instructions. Barbara Jacobs
From Library Journal
This well-illustrated book, the third by Canadian studio artists Shannon and Torlen (e.g., Stained Glass: Projects & Patterns), covers the fundamentals of etching glass with sandblasting and of piecing stained-glass objects. Step-by-step projects include flat panels, furniture, and lampshades; techniques, equipment, and safety are all covered in detail. The inclusion of sandblasting makes this a good addition to crafts collections already having a basic stained-glass book such as Chris Rich's Stained Glass Basics: Techniques, Tools, Projects (LJ 2/15/97).
