A book of 18 full-size prairie style designs for 12" square lampshades. From the Author This book is the first book of prairie lampshade designs in the stained glass industry and was meant to complement the window designs in "prairie designs for stained glass windows". At the time it was published, there were no prairie style lamp bases in the industry in metal or wood, so the book has instructions for making a base of stained glass. Now there are lamp bases available in wood and metal for these shades. About the Author Alex Spatz grew up in the midwest and got involved with stained glass through a college course while studying for a B.F.A. degree in studio art. This led to a job designing decorative mirrors and a start in the decorative accessories industry. Throughout his career he has designed glass and mirror products as well as stained glass windows, lampshades and gift items for nationally distributed companies. He now writes and sells design books for stained glass hobbyists.
