The Complete Guide to Handmade Stained Glass: 12 Step-by-Step Projects for Lead-Free Glass Art at Home

I recently received the book on stained glass that has proven to be incredibly helpful for my new to start journey. The book contains a wealth of information, including detailed patterns and techniques that are perfect for beginners like me. I appreciate the clear illustrations and instructions, which make it easy to follow along and start creating beautiful pieces. However, I must mention that the delivery experience was disappointing. The book arrived quite quickly (from the US to the Netherlands), but it was unfortunately very damaged. It was only packaged in a flimsy plastic bag, which was insufficient for protecting it during transit. Better packaging with cardboard padding for example would have made a significant difference in ensuring the book arrived in pristine condition. Overall, while the content of the book is fantastic and exactly what I needed for my stained glass journey, the packaging needs improvement. I hope future shipments will be handled with more care to avoid similar issues.

Book is wonderful! It really helped me get started as a complete beginner who has never soldered or done stained glass before, telling me exactly what I should by, what to expect, and step-by-step details of the process. Highly recommend. Comes with templates and access to images of templates online to cut with Cricut to make for easy glass cutting.

Wife says: Rosie's book is great quality, thick paper, color images, thorough detailed instructing along with other tips of you choose a different tool. She generously includes many full size patterns of her beautiful designs in the back of the book along with PDF'S of you prefer. I love her style of bug 🪲 designs. Her amazing techniques with the Cricut using adhesive copper metal sheets is what drew me to her. She also generously allows you to sell what you make with her designs AS LONG AS YOU CREDIT HER, as you should❤️😍👏 Check out her videos, her beetle designs are so freaking beautiful. 😍

This book is great! I am new-ish at stained glass. This book has simple & to the point instructions (which is perfect). Photos are great. The book just has all around great advice! I hope to try lead free solder :). I would absolutely purchase this book not only for myself but also as gift to anyone who is interested in stained glass. I cannot wait to try out the beautiful patterns!

Okay let me start by saying I truly don't know where to begin, this book has been my holy grail for starting stained glass. The detail, the explaining everything like youre explaining it to someone that doesnt know what's going on (yes that's me, im a beginner and truly clueless where to start - atleast before I found this) it walked me through like I had a gentle hand to hold on top and explore this new craft. By the end of it, I didnt have any questions as it simply answered everything for me. I knew what I needed to start and what is just optional. It would be good for professionals too as there is so much great information and so many patterns to use in it (I took the recommendation that was in the book to laminate them so I could keep reusing) but she also gives you access to be able to access them online to be able to print more or to be able to use with cricut. Great purchase. Honestly if anyone is thinking about getting in to stained glass THIS is where you need to start.

LOVE this book! I took a couple classes in person and this book definitely covers everything you need to get started. ALSO it comes with the most gorgeous patterns that I am so excited to make.

This book is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in stained glass. It clearly lists all the tools you need, with easy-to-follow instructions and helpful tips throughout. The included templates at the end are a great bonus—perfect for getting started or finding inspiration. Highly recommend!

I am so glad I took a chance on this book! I’ve watched the creators videos on YouTube and fell in love with her work. When I found out she was publishing a book I knew it would be a great addition to my collection, especially since I’m just getting into stained glass. This book has everything you need to get started (besides tools of course) but it does tell you what you need and price ranges for each item. She also explains different glass and how to choose which is best for you along with other helpful tips. In the back there are starter project patterns I can’t wait to try! Knowing it’s very rare to find a stained glass book that breaks it down and has a ton of reference pictures, I’m so happy and don’t regret my purchase at all!
