The art of assembling glass into shapes originated centuries ago, and is still widely practiced by today's artists and crafters. The creation of stained glass artwork involves several steps:
- Glass (of course)
The many types of glass provide artists with limitless potential.
- Patterns
Any project must have a design. Patterns are the bridge between an artist's ideas and the final piece of art.
- Foil / Caming
Once the glass and the pattern come together, the individual glass pieces are framed in metal foil or came.
- Soldering / Assembly
Metal solder brings the pieces together - and the artwork to life.
