Sixteen years's experience designing and making commercial and art leadlights has brought Will Fraser to write this guide for leadlighters wishing to take their craft to the marketplace. For the self-motivated, leadlighting can be a rewarding and creative career path.
The author takes you step-by-step through the basics of setting up a business, under the chapter headings of Getting Started, Gaining Credibility, The Studio - Home or Shop?, Which Direction - Commercial or Art?, The Commercial Marketplace, Leadlights as Art, Installing Leadlights, Becoming a Stockist, and Some Hints on the Business. In fact the book is rich in handy hints throughout. Interspersed throughout the text are numerous design notions, while other designs are illustrated with colour photographs and full page drawings.
