Leadlighting, or stained glass, has been used as a decorative feature in houses since Victorian times and is enjoying a considerable revival today. However, leadlighting skills are no longer limited to a small group of craftsmen, but are available to any enthusiast.
This book for the would-be leadlighter covers all the practical and aesthetic aspects of creating in stained glass. It is divided into three sections. The first describes in detail all the equipment required to make a leadlight panel or Tiffany-style lampshade. The second explains the techniques and skills needed to accomplish this work and discusses important related subjects, such as workshop layout and safety precautions. The instructions given are clear, direct and easy to follow. The final part offers a selection of designs that readers can enlarge and use for their own projects. The styles vary from traditional Victorian, Edwardian and Art Nouveau to modern designs incorporating Australian wildlife or Aboriginal motifes, and will inspire all aspiring leadlighters.
