About this title

Synopsis

Providing an introduction to the craft of painting on glass, this book contains a guide to materials and techniques, a range of projects with step-by-step instructions, a selection of trace-off motifs, and a trouble-shooting section. The simplest of projects - turning a jam jar into a lantern - familiarizes readers with the paints and the basic skills of using the trace-off motifs and painting freehand. This leads on to transforming plain glass bowls, glasses, trinket boxes, mirrors, picture frames, vases, cabinet doors, storage jars, and many other household items, into brightly coloured objects.
