I wish I knew this as a stained glass beginner #stainedglass

Exactly like sewing patterns, saving cuts by putting pattern pieces together always feels like some kind of bonus in a puzzle game.

This channel randomly popped up on my feed. The glass art is such an amazing skill and turns out beautiful! Seeing older posts shows how talented this artist is. I’m glad something got pushed out to the algorithm because talent like this needs to be shown!!!! 😻

I love seeing people learn stained glass, especially since it's a dying art form, I grew up around it since my grandma was famous for her works of stained glass and built our family business around it, stained glass is such an integral part of my family and my life

I wish the copper colour was kept. It was so beautiful.

Me with too many hobbies already: This is a new one for me and now I must learn more.

Thank you for actual tips to improve our technique instead of just recommending products. Starting something new can be so challenging so I really appreciate these kinds of shorts.

It sounds like you said "I actually enjoy slaughtering now", bc you killed it.

Oh my gosh i did this in my school, but the teacher always said

"Oh dont cut close to the pattern. It'll just break your piece entirely."

So I had to cut maybe a centimeter away on really thin pieces. Needless to say, i want very good at it even after 2 years. So I instead did mosaics which turned out MUCH better.

Something that you might be able to make use of in the future with the "this scored glass won't break" issue is to put the glass underwater before you work with the pliers. Water allows excess force to dissipate and it makes breaking the glass super easy without needing to do all the tapping

Thank you for sharing these deceptively simple tips! Stained glass is so much harder than it looks and people really do need advice starting out.
I took classes as a kid in the 1980s. My stepfather was a professional photographer who did multimedia sculpture on the side. We had a giant barn that served as studio/ workshop etc and he taught me so much, he saved me from making tons of mistakes, because there’s just so much to learn and know. Execution can be done well or poorly and the tips you just gave make the difference between a piece that’s clunky and a piece that is finely wrought.
Clunky has its place, but when you have a vision and you desperately want to translate what you see in your head to the outside finely wrought is ideal.
I love your work, and I appreciate your creativity, and I think anyone watching feel grateful for your generosity with knowledge!

As a former stain glass artist in my art club, i used to do it in my high school. We had a kiln, a whole lil booth set up for stain glass art making. The school invested in glass grinders, gloves and lots of safety guideline sessions 😅

I miss those days, but I'm still happier off in animation

That solder at the end was smooth as butter nice

I love when people post what they've learned and their improvements in their craft. The final result looks amazing!

[SplitxHeart]

Another good example for the old wisdom of "practice makes perfect" no master ever fell from the heavens, it all comes from passion, making mistakes, learning from mistakes and maybe doing some research or studying and of course that very, very important practice! :3

[ksbrook]

Very specific and practical tips. Good to know.

[mellowmike]

Lead poisoning is so underrated and people underestimate soldering. Use N95 mask when you do that. Stay safe! :)

[no-ldhz]

you might also want to look into flux for soldering. while it's primarily used for soldering in electronics, it helps make the solder wet the copper a lot better, possibly leading to straighter lines. I do recommend doing it outside or having good ventilation.

[TheMrrccava]

I wish something like this was viable for a job. I'd adore doing something like this for work everyday.

[lazyfoxplays]

I know nothing about stained glass art making but this short was very specific and explained perfectly that I feel like if I did start making stained glass art, I’d be saved a few headaches.
V good short! Ty for sharing!
