From the introduction:
"This book has been many years in the writing; I started
writing it fifteen years ago, when I was taking glass lessons
myself. I was so frustrated with my teacher, the glass, the cuts,
and my own lack of natural talent, that I wanted to quit many
times. It was this frustration that first prompted me to write
a book that could simplify the art and techniques of Stained Glass...and
spare others the frustration that I had to overcome. The good
news is that you don't need 'natural talent.' You can be very
good at stained glass with the lessons in this book, lots of practice,
and good old fashioned tenacity. This book is for all those who
want to learn, and especially those that have tried and tried
... and are ready to succeed!" |
