Lesson 9
Make Your Own Stained Glass Panel!
After watching this lesson you’ll:
Be competent in following stained glass patterns and have a feel for adding your own unique modifications to them
Understand critical downstream impacts of each step in the creation process (i.e. how the accuracy of your glass cuts impact the shape-refining process, how your shape refinements impact the foiling process, etc.)
Have gained valuable practice scoring and breaking sheet glass, soldering, and attaching framing channel
As part of this hands-on experience, you’ll also learn to shape wire accents and have the opportunity to innovate your own, completely original details!
