Introduction:
Beginnings is a teaching companion for new and intermediate
students that wish to advance their skills within the art
glass crafts. I have always thought that the learning material
available to new and beginning students has made up a very
small percentage of the overall library. By that I mean of
all the primer books and media offered to the retail public
there is a limited selection to choose from. More over what
is out there is brief and to the point. Imagine having a companion
to work with you in your stained glass endeavors. With all
the questions you have, Beginnings will help you to work through
tutorial lessons at your own pace and convenience. Imagine
having about 10 books worth of information contained on one
disk. That is only the beginning. Of course there is nothing
like an actual instructor giving one on one |
|
| training to an eager
student hungry for knowledge. When that is not possible
my CD is. I'm sure you'll feel more confident to your approach
while working with art glass. Good luck and enjoy success
as Stained Glass Artists.

within "Beginnings". The CD is geared to teach

photographs the average stained glass book has to offer?
Well if it's a quality book you may see between 25 and 35
photo's. Of course if the pictures are in color the book
usually has a premium price tag attached to it.
