Stained Glass Techniques:
Glass Mosaic Applique:
Glass mosaic, where coloured glass is glued into place onto a clear glass background and then grouted in black to give a stained glass window effect.
"A 'poor mans' stained glass"
Copper Foiled Glass:
like the Tiffany style lamps.
Glass is cut and fit together to create a design, then joined by using copper foil and solder.
Traditional Leaded Glass Panels:
the method used to create large church windows.
Glass is cut to size and assembled using lead came, solder and cement to create a panel.
You must have completed our Traditional Leaded Panel Course to use this method on this course.
