Modern Designs Stained Glass Pattern Book

These original patterns combine aspects of abstract design with natural elements for beautiful and strikingly unusual effects. They can be executed with either of the customary techniques, copper foil or lead came, or a combination of the two approaches. Symmetrical in design, the patterns are easily adapted for specific projects.

Anna Croyle's career as a stained glass artist began with a gift certificate for a beginner's class from her husband in 2000. She had a natural ability for the craft, and was soon hired as a part-time artisan and full-time designer. Currently, she works on custom, made-to-order windows from her studio in Baltimore, Maryland. Dover published her first book of stained glass designs — and the three that followed.
