“What a breath of fresh air – a clear, concise book on glass painting. This is the perfect book for anybody, beginning or experienced. The clarity, simplicity and step-by-step information is a real joy. There’s also great information on what materials and tools to buy. One of the things my father always believed in was how techniques should be freely shared and that, if someone is able to do things better than you with that information, that’s the way it should be done. David Williams learnt from my father, and this book is a must for studios and individuals alike. I thoroughly recommend it.”
