Stained Glass Techniques
In this section of our site you will find explanations as well as photos and videos of stained glass techniques for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced stained glass artists. The stained glass techniques found here will help make your glass work more enjoyable and productive.
We've found that most stained glass artists fall in to one of the three classes mentioned above, beginner, intermediate and advanced, so we have broken down our techniques area to better help you find the right skill category.
Generally speaking, a beginner may have little or no experience in creating stained glass projects, an intermediate artist may have completed a few pieces but still has a lot to learn to make sure that finished projects are created with a level of quality expected to sell to third parties. A professional has created dozens of projects over many years and has proven to be highly skilled which is reflected in the fact that he or she has sold many projects to either a collector or to somebody that wishes to have their work in their home or office.

Stained Glass Projects
When most people think of stained glass, they envision a window or perhaps a door or sun catcher. But there are many innovative people that have developed other interesting, perhaps even highly unusual concepts.
Because stained glass projects usually include copper, many artisans have included stained glass in their waterfalls by actually incorporating the copper tubing used in the waterfall in to the stained glass piece itself.
Other artisans have stepped way outside of the box and have taken everyday objects and have either embellished them with stained glass or have in someway added the glass work to the object.
Whatever it is you choose to do, we encourage you to think outside of the box when planning your next project. Innovation can spawn great interest in collectors and others who are looking for something different to display in their home or office. Everyone loves a good conversation piece.
