Creative Glass features a wide range of exciting projects, from those using simple techniques of coiling wire, to more advanced projects involving intricate beadwork or soldering. A comprehensive section at the beginning of the book is full of practical information on tools and materials and takes you through the basic techniques for working with wire, beads, and mosaic. All of the projects include accompanying step-by-step photographs, detailed instructions, and stylish photographs of the finished piece. From pretty Christmas ornaments to a sophisticated wire-woven decanter, there is something here to suit every taste and skill level. Book jacket.
