Author Biography

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.
