“Of greatest use to beginners. The dozen projects will introduce first-time mosaicists to the art without...frustration.”—Booklist “You’ll never look at a shard of glass in the same way again.”—Glass Craftsman Innovative techniques, in tandem with striking and original designs, will make you revel in the creative pleasure of fashioning beautiful mosaics. An overview covers four basic mosaic methods: pique assiette, which uses fragments from plates, mugs, and pictures; direct (just lay it down and glue); indirect, where the work is done on a temporary surface before being cemented; and three dimensional applications. Magically transform everyday objects into art by replacing a standard kitchen counter with one covered in fragments of stone, glass, and pottery, or turning a simple lamp into a finely crafted sculpture. For additional inspiration, 50 artists provide invaluable hints and tricks of the trade.

In this book, Liz James offers a comprehensive history of wall mosaics produced in the European and Islamic middle ages. Taking into account a wide range of issues, including style and iconography, technique and material, and function and patronage, she examines mosaics within their historical context. She asks why the mosaic was such a popular medium and considers how mosaics work as historical 'documents' that tell us about attitudes and beliefs in the medieval world. The book is divided into two part. Part I explores the technical aspects of mosaics, including glass production, labour and materials, and costs. In Part II, James provides a chronological history of mosaics, charting the low and high points of mosaic art up until its abrupt end in the late middle ages. Written in a clear and engaging style, her book will serve as an essential resource for scholars and students of medieval mosaics.

Stained glass made easy! It doesn't take solder or a dedicated studio to start making gorgeous glass works. You can create items such as small votive holders and vases on up to windows, tables, and more, with just a few easy-to-find tools and materials. From tiny opaque tiles to larger pieces of transparent glass, there is so much beauty to be found in all sorts of glass pieces. Even broken glass items can be repurposed once you know how. You'll soon be finding ways to incorporate glass into tray designs, jewelry, garden mosaics, and other decorative and useful items. Robin M. N. Jones teaches glass work as part of her art therapy practice with teenagers and adults, and breaks the processes down step by step to teach you how to choose your glass, snip it into useful shapes, place your pieces into a pleasing design, and finish it with common glues and grouts. She shares what she's learned in her own art to save you from making similar mistakes. And she has found the benefits for herself and others in the meditative focus of creating with glass pieces. Sorting, cutting, and placing glass is both a mental and tactile experience that calms and focuses the mind.
