Leaded Glass Inserts

Two 8" x 20" stained glass panels made for a customer. The pattern was made to an exact size using a template. Once the glass type was chosen the pieces were cut out and then the edges were ground down on a wet saw to remove the sharpness and fit to size. After all the pieces were finished the edges were then wrapped with a copper foil. Once fitted into a template frame the pieces are soldered together on both sides. Then a thin brass frame is cut to size and soldered around the outside of each panel for strength. The panels are then cleaned and a black patina was added to the solder seams. The last step is the polishing of each piece and they are ready for installation into the customer's hand made wood cabinet.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I have always worked with oil paints and various crafts but once I took a course in the art of making stained glass I was hooked. Each new project that I start is still exciting to me. Being able to draw a new pattern and then create the piece in glass is very rewarding. I work in the Tiffany style of glass crafting - cutting out each individual piece of a design then grinding, foiling and soldering. (Imagine making a large glass puzzle). I work closely with my customers to insure they are pleased with the design colors and framing .
Each stained glass item will be made to order. Pricing will calculated by size , detail and framing requested. Shipping will be calculated based on zip code and the size of the finished product.

    Liz was so great! She took the time to ask questions and get every detail she could from me. I pretty much gave her the reigns and I am so happy that I did! It turned out exactly how I wanted it to.
