Stained Glass Projects Book To Recommend?

I have visited your site, it's superb. I want to learn about etching, texturing, painting and all types of methods that can be done on glass for art and craft work.
Could you refer me to books or any literature that would provide me with all the techniques or methods to perform on glass work. Thanks, Steve

Milly's answer:

I've had a think about books, and can thoroughly recommend two books for beginners.

The Complete Stained Glass Course by Lynette Wrigley and Marc Gerstein is very good on all the things that you mention. It also includes introductions into different types of glass, the tools you need to get started, stained glass projects and other useful information.

Contemporary Warm Glass by Brad Walker is very good if you want to fuse glass (heat it up in a kiln and melt it together). It contains information on everything to do with this method, from preparing the kiln to decorating the glass in different ways. It's very exciting reading!

I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your stained glass, and don't forget to come back to Everything Stained Glass to put your first piece on the website.
