Stained Glass goes way back to medieval times. The glass is cut to a pattern and then, instead of copper foil, lead came is used to join the pieces together. This comes in 6ft lengths and is cut to size and bent around the glass shapes. Then each join is soldered, before the panel is cemented to make it strong and weatherproof. It is then polished. It is more durable and able to withstand weather. Cathedral windows are constructed using this method.

Copper Foil Stained glass is the technique developed by L.C. Tiffany. The glass is cut to a pattern, and is then wrapped around the edges with a sticky copper tape. This tape is then covered with a bead of solder, which has patina applied to it before being polished.

Create a 8″x10″ panel for your home or give it as a gift.
