When "The Art of Painting on Glass" was first published in 1980, the publisher - Charles Scribner's Sons, New York - predicted that it was "destined to become the primary source book for artists who are turning to the medium of glass to express their own vision, feelings, and individuality."

In fact, the book became the universally accepted standard for glass painting techniques, widely sought, but rarely found after it went out of print.

The Art of Painting on Glass was republished in 2000.

But now it's out of print again! However, we have a few used copies available for immediate delivery on our secure server. You'll find them on the right-hand side of our home page.

There has been a mysterious lack of communication about the techniques of painting on glass. A few hundred years ago, the secrets of the paint mixtures and the various methods of their application on glass were closely guarded by artists and revealed only to family and trusted friends.

Each stained-glass guild had its own formulas, which were never recorded. The tradition of secrecy has left its mark: Until quite recently, available information has been sketchy and incomplete.

With this book, the noted artist Albinas Elskus removes the mystique surrounding this art form. Combining centuries-old artistry and contemporary techniques, he brings to people who are interested in painting on glass the results of his experiments with vitreous paints, the mixing agents, brushes, tools, and equipment needed, and the various methods of applying and controlling the paint. Silver staining, enameling, etching, silkscreening, and firing of painted glass are thoroughly described-with many helpful illustrations.

Why has "The Art of Painting on Glass"
always been so popular?

Because of its clear, concise instructions on glass-painting techniques.
Here's an example of that:

Albinus Elskus Albinas Elskus first became acquainted with stained glass while studying at the Institute of Decorative Arts in his native Lithuania. After World War II, he studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt, Germany, and painting at the École des Arts et Métiers in Freiburg.

After arriving in the United States in 1949, he completed the four-year apprenticeship program of the Stained Glass Association of America in Chicago and New York.

A resident of New York City, Mr. Elskus was part owner of Durhan Studios, Inc., an instructor in painting and drawing at Fordham University, a stained-glass artist and frequent exhibitor whose works are part of many private and public collections.
