What Readers Are Saying


By kim banks


 "Within 5 minutes, and having just flipped through the pages, I was drawn to one chapter and was given the answer to a problem that I had been having for years!

It's remarkable how much I was doing in my business that I hadn't thought was a problem, but giving Mr. Elder half a chance and implementing some of the ideas, has already saved me time, gotten me more exposure, and several new sales!

There is ample space on each page, and I will continue to keep notes in these areas to mark the date I tried his advise and how it worked for me.

This is a book I have already recommended to my students, and one I sincerely hope you purchase too."

 

By shakespear

"I have been creating in glass for over 30 years , and Mr. Elder has pinpointed questions about stained glass and the cost of working in glass that each artist asks along the way.

Mr. Elders writes with timely information and easily digested information whether one is a beginner, intermediate, or seasoned stained glass artist .

Each chapter is filled with what you all ways have wanted to know. Thank you , Mr. Elder, this is a must have book for every stained glass artist.

 

By Roseheart

"This is a must have book if you love doing stained glass and enjoy making money while doing so. Mr. Elder presents many aspects of the process in a very precise way.

I have enjoyed reading each chapter. I plan on adopting several of his suggestions. I hope he does more books in the near future."

 

By Amazon Customer

"I took a stained glass class years ago and since then have occasionally sold a piece here and there. His book has lots of advice for becoming a serious seller of stained glass. Some of his tips include making suncatchers that have broad appeal. I have seen stained glass artists that only produce very taste specific work and then have difficulty selling. He suggests selling at Farmers Markets, which I had never considered before. Lots of great advice that got me thinking!"

 

By Bill

"Good collection of info that the average person might not consider, ranging from things needed to set up for a show to insurance considerations to making the best use of scrap glass that you accumulate. A good read to get you started if you're ready to start selling stained glass pieces to a larger market."

 

By Amazon Customer

"Great book for ideas and tips. A must read to prepare for selling your projects. Very informative on various marketing avenues and pricing. Looking forward to Volumes II."
