Vincent O'Brien is the author of this informational piece on stained glass. He caught my attention because most books that I have read on stained glass put great emphasis on copperfoil, lead, and mosaic techniques. Yet, the information O'Brien shares in Techniques of Stained Glass encompasses faceted and laminated techniques as well. The author uses language that ammatures can understand and benefits masters too. O'Brien explains each process well and includes photographs to illustrate the different techniques and multiple lighting effects on the glass. As a beginning stained glass artist, I found inspiration in reading O'Brien's book, and I look forward to using these new techniques.
