    THE WORKSHOP

    THE PROCESS OF MAKING A STAINED GLASS PANEL

    • Choose a template.
    • Decide on colours to use in your design.
    • Place glass on the template and cut the glass in the required shapes.
    • Join the glass panel together with ‘lead came ‘ building as though a jigsaw puzzle from the left corner out.
    • Solder the lead joints using flux /tallow using a soldering iron . A mask is worn .
    • ‘Cement’ the design to keep the glass secure. Cement is like putty .This can be very messy.
    • Apply ‘whiting’: a chalk powder sprinkled across the panel on top of cement to absorb the oil from the cement.
    • Polish the finished design using black grate polish.
