Stained Glass
Leaded Glass Method

What is Leaded Stained Glass?
Leaded glass windows are found throughout history in church cathedrals. This lovely technique found its way into the home with Victorian Era design, and has remained popular ever since. Stained glass is cut and fitted into the channel of lead came, then soldered at the joints and cemented to provide strength that will endure for years to come.

Step-by-Step: Leaded Stained Glass
1.Prepare patterns and tools to get started. Use one copy to cut up as a pattern, and the other copy to piece together your project.
2.Layout the pieces of your project, keeping the lead and glass in place using horseshoe nails.
3.Once your project is assembled, apply flux and solder all the joints together.
4.Cement the soldered piece together, using a brush to work the cement into all crevices.
5.Use whiting powder to finish and clean up the cement.
6.Clean your finished project to a shine and display!
