"...The necessary skills and techniques are developed throughout
the book, which gradually introduces more complicated procedures
and methods. Clear, well-illustrated instructions show how to
make a candle chimney and a stained glass lantern, a panel shade
for a reading lamp, and a hanging cylinder lamp. Other projects
feature a variety of techniques, including creating a lampshade
dome using the lead-came method, a large hanging lampshade using
a form, and a 1,000-piece lampshade using the copper-foil method.
Additional chapters cover the basics of stained glass cutting
and soldering, using and designing lamp-shade patterns, electrical
and hanging hardware, lamp bases, and variations on traditional
methods.
With this illustrated hands-on guide, novices and experienced
craftspeople alike will be able to create stunning lampshades
that will add decorative beauty to any room."
