Stained-Glass Art: Explore the Leaded Technique

Begin the course by getting to know stained-glass artist Flora Jamieson. She discusses how she became a full-time artist and the influences that inspire her work. Then, find out what you can expect from the course.

Dive into the materials needed for stained-glass art, from cutting glass to solder, and learn how to use them. Set up your workspace before discovering how to gather inspiration and make a concept board for your design. Create a sketch based on your inspiration and see how to turn it into a cutline. Next, learn how to cut and break glass safely.

Time to create your final artwork. Start by cutting each of your pieces using the skills learned earlier in the course. Then see how to stretch and cut the lead before assembling your panel. Learn how to solder professionally, and how to putty and polish your artwork. Finally, add the painted details to your stained-glass panel.

Attach loops to your piece in preparation for hanging in your home. To finish the course, Flora guides you through how to package and post your panels as gifts, as well as how to clean them and make sure they stay looking their best.
