stained glass supplies for beginners ✷ what you need to start!

Awesome work! But I suspect not enough precautions are taken against lead dust. As someone who has had lead poisoning by soldering I hope you're using decontamination cleaning agents and sprays for your workplace and don't touch surfaces you've soldered on with bare hands - especially since you wear rings and have long nails. Lead removal hand soap & wipes are great. Consider dust-wipe testing of your studio area to be safe (Schneider labs has a good easy kit). And blood testing for lead (none should be detected - if any is, you're being exposed unnecessarily) is a must. Stay safe!!

The video I'd like to see is one that shows recommended tactics for best laying out your pattern on glass to both make cuts feasible and also preserve as much glass as possible. I made a pattern and soon will start cutting it (my first time) but I'm tight on funds and want to minimize my glass consumption with some careful planning.

Excellent info and great video, but one minor thing i noticed from my (limited) experience in woodworking. Generally you don't want to wear gloves around spinning machinery as it can be a safety hazard. The glove can get caught in the bit and at best ruin your piece, and worst cause an injury. that's the one thing I'd maybe not do

finally some detailed yet easy to follow instructions from an artist who knows how to make a lovely piece!! ✨

I’ve always wanted to try stained glass and have found your videos to be the most comforting and accessible! Appreciate all the work you put into sharing what you’ve learned. I’d love to see a video of how you create/print your patterns.

I am so happy I stumbled upon this! I have been a huge stained glass fan forever. And now seeing that I could maybe learn this hobby is so inspiring! But buying the supplies seems very expensive for the start at least

i absolutely adore stained glass pieces and i buy them whenever i see them, but lately i’ve been thinking more and more about making my own pieces. i honestly felt overwhelmed thinking about it because i wasn’t sure where to begin. this video helped me so much!!! i appreciate you! ❤

With the sander, how do you sand small corners? What do you wipe your glasd down with? Do you have to etch the glass so that the foil will stick? What width of glass is best for beginners? How does cheap glass compare to more expensive glass? Also what tools do you recommend for someone in the eu?

POOKIE THIS IS THE EXACT VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR

Fantastic video! This was the best instruction tutorial for anything I have ever seen! Great job and thank you!❤

Brilliant video and the editing is superb. Not just talking about the supplies but showing what exactly it is used for and how is really great for beginners. Thank you.

This is extremely helpful. Ive been wanting to get into stained glass making, so this video and others ive seen are very helpful. Im excited for the other videos you have in store for this series

Tysm for making this!! I’ve always adored stained glass. I only recently looked into actually making it, but this is the first video I’ve seen!! I’ve seen some pretty comprehensive articles/blog posts but the video format is so much nicer!!

Dear Amaya, thank you for your video! Very informative and tastefull made.

This is one of the most beautiful crafts i've seen so far. One day, i'll definitely start doing this too but unfortunately I don't have the money for it atm. I am really into drawing both digital and traditional and my parents are both also great at arts and crafts so it's definitely in my genes haha

thanks so much!!!!!! this came right in time for me

What paper you use that have tak and stick to the glass. I use to do stain glass. I recommend you the safety glasses tha are close like a scuba mask. The tiny glasses gets in to the clothes and hair and layer can fall in to the eye. Never happens to me until one day I felt a glass in my eye. Wasn’t funny at all. There’s a fume extractor also for indoors and now the solder wire don’t have lead I think. Things change a bit. There’s is a water glass cutter that is a state of the art. It have a diamond string. For bigger pieces you use lead canals. For windows and stuff. Have a good luck with your endeavors. Look really pretty. It’s nice see new young people doing stain glass. Protect your lungs.

Thank you so much for this video! Love your work 😄❤

This is amazing I wish to try it someday

awesome video! I have my first class in a few weeks and I am so excited!
