BOOKS, Videos, DVDs, and More

"Beginning my studies, the first step pleas'd me so much,
...I have hardly gone, and hardly wish'd to go, any farther,
But stop and loiter all the time, to sing it in ecstatic songs."
- Walt Whitman


We hope our book section will help you begin your studies in stained glass. For those of you with more experience, we encourage you to loiter and sing about it in ecstatic songs. We've worked hard to give you a lot to sing about. Enjoy.

Instructional books
Books for the absolute beginner as well as for experienced glass artists who want to learn more. Some of these books contain a fair number of patterns. All of them contain instructions, tips, and general advice.
Books of lampshade patterns
Table lamps, hanging lamps, prairie style, traditional Victorian, they're all represented in this collection of lampshade pattern books.
Books of suncatcher patterns
Mostly suncatchers, but other small items as well. A great place to go after you've acquired basic skills.
Books of patterns for smaller panels
We include a great variety of titles in this section. Some of the smaller panels depicted in these books could be called suncatchers, and some of the larger could be called windows. You nit pickers out there might find this disturbing; we hope the rest of you will enjoy yourselves browsing our selections.
Books of patterns for windows and larger panels
Simple to complex, Victorian to modern abstract, these pattern books cover quite a range of styles.
Books on mosaics, etching and fusing
For those of you who have ventured, or wish to venture, beyond the traditional stained glass methods and applications, we include these titles for your perusal.
Books of patterns for three-dimensional projects
Who says you need to stick to two dimensions? Move beyond Flatland to Spaceland! Candy dishes, shadow boxes, night lights and jewelry boxes are among the items portrayed in these pattern books.
Christmasy, wintery, holiday-type books
This page's title pretty much tells the story.
Little (and Not So Little) Stained Glass Coloring Books
A perfect little gift!
Stickers, stationery and odd stuff
Bookmarks and stickers for you grown-ups, and stained glass coloring books for the rest of us.
DVDs
Some people learn by reading, some by watching, some by doing. Here are dome DVDs for those of you in the second category.
Stained Glass Magazines
We decided to try out this truly lovely magazine, but decided it was too pricey. Your reward for our decision is that we're offering these back issues at a very, very low price. Enjoy.
