About this title

Synopsis

It’s absolutely breathtaking! The owners of the award-winning On the Edge Glass Studio have produced a wide-ranging, sumptuous collection of stained glass mosaic patterns that even beginners can enjoy crafting. Esteemed artists George W. Shannon and Pat Torlen offer a wealth of inspiration and instruction, as well as 23 projects for wall clocks, plaques, and hangings; trays and decorative plates; tabletops, nightstands, and headboards; and more—plus an additional ten garden stone ideas. A basics section covers everything a newcomer needs to get started—from copying the patterns to scoring and cutting to making tesserae—and individual sections focus on mosaic construction techniques and translucent mosaics. There are dozens of “Helpful Hints” boxes, as well as definitions of terminology.

 

A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

Reviews

Shannon and Torlen own the On the Edge Glass Studio, and their expertise and talent could not be more obvious or on lovelier display than in the pages of this collection of stained-glass patterns, which they say are suitable for beginners and more experienced crafters alike. Their wisdom takes the form of 23 projects, ranging in sophistication and difficulty from a baby's A,B,C wall plaques to an outdoor garden divider with a butterfly pattern. Each project is accompanied by a pattern to follow, clear directions, a list of materials needed, and striking, helpful photographic illustrations. The projects are prefaced by an extensive introduction that discusses mosaic construction, basic materials, essential tools, general techniques, and safety measures. It ain't just knittin'.
