Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In English and Turkish. 80 p., color ills. Vitray.= Stained glass. This book is written as a source book for the people who want to learn stained glass art, and who teach to make stained glass. Today books on this field are mostly foreign works and include history of stained glass art and its samples instead of how to make it. It is evident that man cannot learn making stained glass by those works. Therefore when I form the contents I thought that it is more useful to explain the structure of glass, required materials and techniques than to tell history of stained glass at length. Then I planed a book devoted entirely to the practice. As I recount my experiences gained in my lectures lasted several years, and by my works in Turkey and also in abroad I try to explain techniques as such more conceivable. So I endeavoured to compose a book so that it helps the students to learn stained glass taught in colleges. I gave a vaste place especially to stained glass with lead profiles and plaster-of-Paris and tiffany glass, and I mentioned briefly works made by machines. I present abundantly examples aimed to explain the topic more comprehensible. The samples are picked from my works, my students' works and the others. I gave attention to aid the topic by photographs. My wish is to present a work that helps those who make stained glass and want to learn it.
