4/4 Mastercrafts - 4. Stained Glass

• Mastercrafts (2010)
4/6 Stained Glass.
Under Monty Don's watchful eye, three hopefuls who are passionate about learning the craft of stained glass are put through their paces by Sophie Hussein, who has been working in the field of stained glass for nearly twenty years. It takes four to five years to train properly as a stained glass craftsman. During their six-week course, the trainees learn the foundations of the craft -- from how to cut glass incredibly accurately, to leading up and glazing a window.

Holy crap. For the past 6 months I've been deciding whether or not to try stained glass, and throughout watching this, I had the vision of a sun with curved arcs outward very similar to what the guy made as a project I'd like to make and give to my mom! I think I'm sold :)

[@NickFarrow]

I wouldn't try leading channels first. try a kit like this www.delphiglass.com/tools-supplies/tool-kits/deluxe-stained-glass-tool-kit

[@johnbarnette3916]

this was very good, each one had their own perspective, I for one would love to see more of this, John from U.S

What a privileged bunch they were. The opportunity to learn from a Master Artist is invaluable! I hope that they have continued their new-found craft and have developed the artistry many times over...

[@pepperdog3761]

Really enjoyed these series!! Thank you

[@annaperz2919]

Wrong decision. Out of those 3 , the young man is best. Real artistic talent. He already has proven his potential, being an architect.

The teacher is so cool :)

[@cgod241]

The show on a whole is pretty interesting to see people start from square one

[@NickFarrow]

What no glass grinder..... or nippers why????

[@JustYerStandardUFO]

They are traditional in their workings sir. NO modern tools.

[@NickFarrow]

What about the soldering iron?

[@JustYerStandardUFO]

They are traditional in the workings sir. NO modern tools. Mostly.

[@kennethfalconer2513]

TheRealJohnDoe That kiln looked pretty modern ;) And they used grozing pliers in the middle ages, there is nothing particularly traditional about a modern steel carbide glass cutter. I reckon they just left some of the ancillary bits out of the documentary. They never mentioned puttying the windows, but you saw them brushing putty for a second or two.

[@MrNonDescript01]

In one of the segments I swear I heard a grinder running (2/4 maybe) - it was only for a few seconds, but I know that sound :)

[@wildstarlights2]

'principal' and 'principle' are two different words with two different meanings, how can a BBC program air such an error?

[@blipblip88]

there's always a weepy Wendy on these shows. But they're fun to watch nonetheless.
