What do you think of AI art? Is it really art?!

[gracealcala]

I just love how you unpack your whole brain to help us grasp your process. You can hear how passionate you are. Thanks for sharing!

[olha_revenko]

Wow, that's so amazing! It's really the best stained glass video, because it's an end-to-end process but with all the details 😍 I feel like I wasted time trying to make a stained glass without seeing it 😅
And, most of all, this piece is just gorgeous. Thank you very much!

[aubreytettleton]

Thank you for making these videos and talking about everything you do and how you and why you do it. I started taking stained class glasses 2 years ago and wanted to see if I really liked it and I still love it! I’ve been collecting the supplies over this past year and will be starting at home soon!

[PKeefe]

I appreciate that you use safety precautions. You also explain the reasons for doing or using your technique on each piece. I feel it all varies, temp etc. You are clear and concise!

[sllyjac]

I love your information and enthusiasm. I am a glass artist myself- retired. I just enjoyed listening to your complete thoughts and once again your enthusiasm.

[cherylburkitt]

I loved watching all of this and felt the excitement at the end.. years ago I learnt leadlight but have never used this technique 💕

[remtt]

this is just too detailed, i loved it! i never ever made stained glass before, i was thinking painting see trough umbrella like stained glass effect for my friend a gift. i decided to learn a bit from this video but dman! such amazing little details youre giving to us! i loved it! im still not sure if i ever do stained glass but if i wanna make some, i would searh up your video again and again. thank you so much for sharing this video, the result was amazing!

[rosehutchins]

This video is so helpful! Thanks so much for taking the effort and time to share your expertise!

[vjrobinson]

Excellent video! I love your directions and explanations! Great teacher! I’ve been doing stained glass since the 80’s and your video is the best I’ve found! Perfect for teaching my daughter this craft! ❤

I always watch your whole videos, sometimes more than once. I really enjoy watching glass being cut, and the whole stained glass process, especially grinding because most people don’t show grinding or they rush through it. I’d like to see more ring saw work. I like your videos because you show the whole process as long as it takes. Once in a while it’s okay but I hate the speeded up parts of the video like it’s not important. I guess I just love stained glass, always have since I first saw it when I was a little kid and your work is beautiful. I like the way you always insist that practice will improve people’s skills and that it isn’t just native talent, that you worked hard to get better. You have a combination of pride in your work and humility in application of your efforts that I admire.

I'm a novice and I learned SO much from your vid. Can't wait to try out your pre-solder tinning suggestion. Thanx!

[JeffreyBrantEyeMD]

Thanks for posting this excellent tutorial! I always learn something new watching your videos that improves my stained glass techniques and projects.

[jenhartart]

Newbie here. Thanks for the informative video. I was taught to tack and then solder the back of piece first as it fills in the gaps, then solder the front. So far I have ended up with a better finish on the front. Not sure whether this is the correct way, but it works for me.

[KimberlySanders-py]

great info! I'm a beginner and learned a lot from your presentation!

[cpnotill]

Really well done video and I learned so much. Really like the organic colors you chose so thanks for sharing your knowledge Rachael. I have my first project cut, ground and foiling next! Binge watching all your videos lol. 💚

[tandemcart]

Such a great idea!!! Combination of two worlds!!!

[JanneGlass]

The end result looks amazing, well done!! Thanks for all the info. I’m still experimenting a lot so I suck in all the tips and tricks I can find. I also agree with you about the heat cracks

[peggyblomberg-djxg]

Thank

Thank you I
I love your lessons and your personality

[samanthasmith]

This was such a good video! I've outgrown the 'beginner stained glass' videos, but my soldering is still far from perfect, so this was incredibly helpful!
