The Techniques of Glass Engraving by Peter Dreiser and the
late Jonathan Matcham is a classic, unique in its field. Considered the
doyen of British glass engravers, Peter Dreiser has fully updated the
text for this second edition with Katharine Coleman, one of the leading
contemporary glass artists of today. It is now 4-colour throughout with
superb new images illustrating the work of a new generation of
contemporary glass engravers. The many techniques covered include
copper wheel engraving, synthetic wheel engraving, cut glass, brilliant
cutting, diamond point, drill engraving, glass etching and
sandblasting. This book is one of the very few on the practical aspects
of this craft, of interest to student and the interested public alike.
Comprehensive information, examples and exercises for the student are
all accompanied with clear photographs, of work in progress and the
