Stained Glass

Stained glass, as an art form, originally reached its height in the Middle Ages when stained glass windows were commonly used in churches for decorative and informative purposes. 

The art of making stained glass windows is when small pieces of glass are arranged to form patterns or pictures, held together (traditionally) by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame. 

Nowadays stained glass is a popular art form useful for making small projects such as suncatchers and candleholders, or larger project like panel lamps and full windows.  Creations made from free stained glass patterns will enhance your home or garden, and make great gifts for family and friends.  Glass manufacturers and stained glass suppliers will publish free stained glass patterns to attract customers or you can obtain glass painting patterns, most requiring little or no adaptation for stained glass work.

On this lens you will find all the information and supplies you need to make your own stained glass projects or lovely ready made pieces to buy.
