Thomas C. said Five Stars. Very good book. Etched glass design book I picked up a copy of this book for 2 reasons. First is that I was fortunate to have attended a glass etching seminar given by Norm the year before he passed. I had a great time, as well all did, learned a lot, and each of us brought about ten projects home. I originally did this as my goal was to place my poetry on slate. Thanks to Norm, it has grown to include many other materials beyond use of poetry, including many different aspects of glass design. The book is another piece to remember him by. Thank you.. Elisa said Great resource. This book was more than I expected. My fiancé is just started etching and this book gave him some great techniques.
