(2024) How To Make A Leaded Glass Window

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Giveaway is closed, thanks for watching!

[@BB-bx4dp]

I love seeing stuff being handmade by artisans. This is my first time seeing a window being made.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Awesome! We have tons of awesome projects are filming right now... one is for a vineyard!

[@vulpsturm]

If anyone has trouble with glass moving around when cutting, especially for small pieces, I've found Sticky Tack to be great to put under the glass to keep it from moving around.

[@bdaly03]

Thank you for sharing this tip, I will be trying it tonight!!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Fantastic idea!

[@vulpsturm]

@@Mr.StainedGlass I just finished making three panels that were 6x10" each, with about 19-23 pieces per, so I was cutting some tiny pieces of glass, and the Sticky Tack was indispensable for keeping the glass in place while I cut it to shape. I hope to be able to make panels like yours in your first video soon!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

​@vulpsturm You can do it! You will be surprised to find that making bigger panels where the pieces aren't as small is actually easier!

[@albertshilton5336]

Great. Video. Thanks

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Glad you liked it!

[@jmheller9268]

Beautiful work! I live watching others do this process. Have been working with glass for 35 years and this never gets old!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Thank you! That's awesome! What projects do you do normally? Thanks for watching!

[@dianelawrence4948]

Just beginning to appreciate this art. Your videos are informative and feed my curiosity so well. Thanks.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

My pleasure!

Just takes practice! Making a full guide on the topic soon.

My favorite part of leaded stained glass is the clean lines that the use of came produces in the piece as opposed to the lines in copper foil stained glass that can have some inconsistencies. Came lends itself beautifully to intricate geometric designs which have been some of my favorite to make.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

I agree! Copper foil can look a bit rough / bump vs. the clean sleak lines of the leaded came.

[@Erinleigh03]

Can you list your supplies for the putty portion of the process?

I really like the windows. I want to start making lead windows.

Thank you for making a video that was easily understood.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

No problem! Keep your eye out for a new release before the 4th!

[@cynap]

So clean and modern it looks

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Thank you! What do you think we should make next?

[@melainenicholson]

Great job! I've been thinking about a way to incorporate fabric craft into stained glass. Maybe sandwiching the fabric between panels would work, but I've never seen it done before. Do you think it's possible?

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Thank you! We also laminate glass. One common decorative material to use is fabric. This would be the best way I can think of to incorporate some fabric. You would just need a really wide channel for the extra thickness. The only reason we don't use it too often is because it fades in sunlight. That's really one of the best parts of the medium - it's highly durable to the elements compared to other materials like paint, plastics/acrylics, and of course fabrics.

[@melainenicholson]

@@Mr.StainedGlass So in theory, I could crochet or knit an item, laminate it between panels, and done correctly of course, it would work? The implications are literally endless! Thanks so much for your reply. Amazing.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

​@melainenicholson That's correct. In our facility we have a vacuum / oven setup from pujol, which i believe is an italian company. Laminating can be tricky with fabrics because of the air bubbles. It will take several test tries to really get it right.

[@bdaly03]

@@Mr.StainedGlass Could she in theory spray the fabric with a UV protectant spray, similarly to how pressed & dried flowers are treated for use in stained glass? Just an idea but I have no experience with incorporating fabric into my glass art so I’m just throwing it out there for consideration lmao

Hermoso trabajo. Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento. Podrías hacer un video sobre soldadura en plomo porfavor? Saludos desde Chile

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Soldering video coming soon!

I like the different types of lead/metal shapes can use

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Tons available for all types of applications!

enjoyed your video ready to start using lead . Its hard for me to take a class I have cancer and your videos are very good for me.

Thanks Ella I appreciate your kind remarks!

[@SuperSjodin]

I would love to learn how to do this! 😅😊❤

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

You can with some practice and the right tools!

[@SuperSjodin]

@@Mr.StainedGlass I have been gifted everything I need to start, she only did copper foil. All I need now is the glass cutter and solder fume extractor. No classes in my area. I’m trying to find cheap glass to practice cutting and foiling. I received $4000.00 in beautiful top of the line glass and don’t want to waste any of it.

[@me_92other42]

great tutorial!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Thanks!

Now my wife wants me to make a stained glass window for her now. Any program that allows for object drawing should work for the design.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

I'm sure you will make your wife very happy!
