I remember as a kid riding my bike to school, there was a stained glass business in a Victorian-era mansion along the way and they did repairs as well as newly designed windows. I would stop by it sometimes and gaze at all the magnificent art within the windows and was amazed at everything I saw! It's a dying art in America and I wish it wasn't, we should get back to making beautiful pieces of architecture that are made to last instead of all the stuff that's slapped together today. Thank you for sharing your art and work with us!

Beautiful piece. I love the abstract brush strokes and colours. Amazing.

I am new to the world of stained glass, and I love your shows! My question is: what is the best procedure to sketch an existing stained glass piece? What type of paper, pencil, or carbon paper should I use? Do you offer individual training for specific applications, such as renovating leaded glass on doors or transoms? I’m from Canada, but I have no restrictions on traveling, even to Europe. Thank you!

This is one of the most beautiful designs of stained glass ever. Maybe because of dandelions 😅

Beautiful, elegant. I'm amazed.
Wow.

Amazing, my very first look into doing stain glass.... Thank you

Outstanding! I retired from doing stained glass after 45 years in the business in far West Texas and New Mexico in the US. It has been a few years since I cut a piece of glass. But now, you have fired up my desire to jump back into the art since i miss the creativeness and using color to brighten a room. I miss using my hands to make something worthwhile.

However, I would only get back into stained glass as a personal hobby / endeavor since I no longer want to operate a business and deal with fussy clients, pay taxes, chasing commission work, dealing with suppliers and shipping headaches. What ever I would do is to please myself and gifts to friends and family.

Your technique in doing stained glass is different than what I use to do. But, there is always more than one way to skin a cat.

Towards the last few years while in business, I would draw my scaled designs on sheets of typing paper, then scan into my computer where i would use a CAD softare to fine tune the design and allow for much easier changes and print extra patterns for cutting glass and the layout. My patterns were printed on a large 48" format plotter by HP.

For clients who had budget constraints, I could do stained glass look-a-like panels using
glass, lead, multi-layered polyester film, bevels, jewels, etc.) to form a solid piece of decorative art glass. The finished product has the look and feel of traditional stained glass, but with the strength and integrity of a solid piece of safety glass. But, the technique has yet to stand the true test of time as traditional stained stained glass. A well built stained glass panel will last decades. The technique I described may last 10-15 years at best s
ince adhesives start to break down.

What a wonderful piece of art. This was a joy to watch and the end result was just exquisite. I’m sure this will outlast us all as long as some vandal doesn’t decide to ruin it. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful piece of artwork. Truly magical 🦋🦩🇬🇧

[WillieBStudios]

Stunning!!! I'm going to be starting my first stained glass class very soon!

Hello Mr. Hunt, thank you for your videos, which are extremely clear and demonstrate exemplary theory. As a francophone, I must say, if I had had teachers like you... One quick question: do you have a video about reproducing a canvas for an antique piece?

[SandraThabet-zw]

Gorgeous! As a novice stained glass artist, this video is incredibly inspiring! Love your aesthetic!

[henribg]

Bravo Maestro!

You're a very talented artist. I really appreciated being able to watch this lovely stained glass get created from start to finish. Thank you for sharing this.

[DanielleCrowell-hdpy]

So pretty! Thank you for sharing your work and process, that was a fun watch.

[JacintaChisom-jh]

Can one make a stain glass painting on a tinted glass?

[argusfleibeit]

Really lovely. I love the mixture of abstract and geometric with organic subjects and traditional glass painting details. As you say, showing the artist's marks. I think it hits all the right notes.
