Pat Torlen's Books

Grow a glass garden--and beautify any space with the exquisite decorative items you've created. George W. Shannon and Pat Torlen, two master teachers and artists who run the On The Edge Glass Studio, offer an array of glorious patterns for stained glass flowers, butterflies, birds, birdfeeders, planters, lanterns, and mobiles. Using dozens of close-up photos, they teach all the basics of both copper foil and lead came construction, from materials and tools to how-to techniques. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

Explains the techniques of making stained glass mosaics, and features step-by-step instructions for approximately thirty projects for the home and garden. Includes patterns.

Choose from a range of extraordinary mosaic techniques and materials for making 20 exceptional decorative items. Use silicone to apply art glass onto a translucent background for a uniquely shimmering look. Incorporate natural and found objects like fossils and bottles washed up on shore and polished by the sea. Projects include a table adorned with rocks and glass, a mirrored tray, a 3-D decanter, and more.

“Well-illustrated...techniques, equipment and safety are all covered in detail...a good addition.”—Library Journal. “More than 20 patterns...illustrated with color photographs. ...Designs are simple, ranging from flowers, to art deco-type angles.”—Booklist.
