Paperback (May 1989) Stained glass, with its unique capacity for variation of form and light, presents a continuous esthetic challenge to the glass artisan. The multi-faceted medium of glass art provides the innovative craftsperson with opportunities for experimentation and exploration. In the search for new interpretations of technique and design, a contemporary concept of artistic expression evolves - sculpting with solder - as an exciting art medium. "Solder Magic Book" goes beyond the traditional, expanding the creative potential of solder. You will be fascinated with this fun approach, from three dimensional pattern seams, creating and casting molds to drawing free-hand solder medallions. This is both an instruction and pattern book, opening a variety of avenues to challenge all levels of skills, from the novice to the experienced. If your current focus is the production of a "nice bead," hold on to your soldering iron. You will be tempted by the exciting aspects of decorative soldering, its many unique applications and unusual finishes.
