Learn Glass Art
Welcome! This is where you’ll find practical, down-to-earth help for your stained glass journey. Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been cutting and soldering for years, my goal is to make glasswork feel more approachable, less confusing, and a lot more fun.
Browse the sections below to explore tools, techniques, studio setup ideas, troubleshooting tips, and real project stories from the workbench.
Tools & Supplies
Not sure which tools you actually need, or what’s worth spending a little extra on? In this section, you’ll find guides and reviews to help you choose cutters, grinders, soldering irons, foils, and more with confidence.
Techniques & Tutorials
Here you’ll find step-by-step articles that walk you through core stained glass techniques, plus helpful tips to refine your skills. From cutting and soldering to finishing and details, this is where we dig into the “how.”
Studio & Workflow
Setting up a workspace, managing supplies, staying organized, and working around real-life limitations all matter just as much as the glass itself. These posts focus on studio layout, storage, safety, and workflows that support you over the long term.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Things don’t always go to plan—that’s normal. In this section, we tackle common problems like rough solder lines, lifting foil, cracked pieces, and more, along with answers to the questions I’m asked most often by students and readers.
Project Spotlights
Curious how techniques and tools come together in real pieces? Project Spotlights take you behind the scenes of finished work—what I used, what went smoothly, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently next time.
