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.

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.

Thank you so much for this. I’ve seen ppl making stained glass but no one explains how, and with what. Thank you so much for not gate keeping. 😊 Your work is beautiful!!

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! ❤

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.

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.

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

This video is really usefull and great ! Thank you for all the details. At the moment, I'm thinking about working on stained glass so this video encourages me a lot to take the plunge.

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

POOKIE THIS IS THE EXACT VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR

I was just considering getting back into making stained glass and I'm so glad I found this video :3

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?

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!!

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

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

Thank you! ADHD’er here. Ready for a new hyper focus!

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

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

Thank you so much for this video, I was looking for a video to guide me through stained glass 🥺 thank you very much 🩷🩷🩷 Can you please make a video teaching how to use the glass grinder.

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

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

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

This is amazing I wish to try it someday

I just discovered your account and I’m a fan! Great videos ❤

What a great video!

Soo cool! ❤

Well I cheaked and it will cost 430 canadian $ to start this hobby

I love your videos but I'm soooo afraid to try this. Your pieces are beautiful!!!

Can you go over how you make your sticker stencils

Gracias por la ayuda 🫂

Great video! Though noooo I don’t need another hobby help! 😂❤

This is super cool, I never thought of stained glass as a hobby I could do myself! How expensive is stained glass making compared to other crafting hobbies? Also, how hard is it to create 3D shapes with stained glass, like on a lamp and things like that?

I want to start this hobby so bad

Can you tell us how to make patterns and the tools that you use to make it , also the sticky paper that you use. Thank you

Please make stained glass lamp.

Thanks so much for sharing! Your work is beautiful. Did you teach yourself this process, or learn some other way? I want to get into it but classes so are expensive on top of all the necessary equipment. Thanks!

This ate.

Okay so I'm not saying I will but _hypothtically_ if the price for the glass grinder is way too steep for someone would it work to just put a hole in a table and mount a rotary tool with a glass bit on it so the bit is peeking out of the table hole? How dangerous would that be? Will I for sure die? Asking for a friend.

Amaya, please advose: do copper and solderind add volume on the edges? Shall i (when gronding) make pieces like 1-2 mm less on the edges?

So the silver from the soldering is always going to be the part of your end result? I like the way the copper looks on some of your pieces. There's no way having copper (color not necessarily metal) or bronze on staibed glass?

Hi! I have two questions. Are you always able to use your finger as a guide when scoring the glass? I saw that there is a guard, but I wondered if it was easy to slip. Also do you make your own patterns or do you have any recommendations for pattern making/sourcing?

How much does it cost for all of that stuff

I’d like to see the place you make your pieces. I think this can’t be done inside of a house, can it (especially if there is a toddler)? Also, I’d like to know how you make your designs? If I take a course would it be possible for me to reach out and find beautiful designs or should I learn to design my pieces?

Can I just ask could you sell these things and how much would you sell it for?

How would you use a gel flux? Is liquid always best for stained glass?

In another video of yours you showed a solution that you spray on the glass to clean it. Can you tell me what that solution is and is it used to remove the flux?

It s a nice , 👍 how to by fournitures in Europe ??

thank you so much for this helpful video! unfortunately, the soldering iron you linked is sold out-- any other recs?

I so want to try this! What is that tool you used to smooth down the copper foil?

How often do you cut yourself? My husband is against me trying out stained glass as he's afraid I'm going to be constantly cutting myself.

How concerning would it be if soldering took place at my kitchen table? I have an old house and the kitchen is one of the most spacious and ventable places but lead and food surfaces is concerning. I wouldn't be soldering on surfaces I'd cook with or even usually eat at, but I can also wash. Great video by the way!

beautifully explained. love watching, but this is not something I would be able to do. my clumsy self would be full of bandaids and probably an eye patch 😂

dear amaya, i have a question, where do you get your grinder bits from because on amazone there are a lot of grinder bits and i don't know with one to get for the same grinder that you have.

How much would the parts be in total

what do you do with leftover glass? it seems like a lot of waste, i’d love to do this but i’m worried about that

I would like to know where I can buy that on line. And where I can find the "pattern". In some videos, you clean the glass after the sticker off... With what? And how to do it at home? I mean, you talk about pulver and "toxic smell"... Can I still do it at home? Need a special room? I have so many other detailed questions...

Do you have an estimate of how much all this would cost in the end?? Sorry for this question…😅

where do you buy the waffle grid mat?

I struggle a little navigating online spaces, especially websites like amazon and the like. It isn't normally too much of an issue but i wouldn't want to get the wrong thing for something like this. (I promise I'm just a little lost when it comes to tech and it's not a troll!❤) I was wondering if anybody from the UK had followed this guide at all and managed to find any of these as most of the things in the description can't be shipped here and I'm honestly really struggling to find them but would love to get started trying to learn how to do stained glass. I figured asking couldn't hurt and this community seems friendly enough! I couldn't find a discord so i hope asking here is ok! Has anyone found a uk shippable alternative for these ones? Sticker paper Copper foil (I'm unsure if I found the right stuff.) Soldering Iron (I could only find one at 46 W or 70+ W.) 60/40 solder. Flux Sorry again if asking this here isn't ok! ❤

What’s the name of the song you used? Cause it’s definitely not beautiful things by Benson Boon 😂

Where or how you print stickers in those shapes rhat you need?

How do you make the stickers????

You have to do both sides right?

А как вы утилизируете осколки стекла? Я всегда боюсь, что осколки могут кого-то поранить, где бы они ни оказались после вывоза мусора, на свалке или на сортировочной станции.

🎉🎉🎉🌺🌺👍👍👍🌺🌺

Could you please add Turkish subtitles option? The video attracted a lot of attention but I don't understand anything

👍🏼👍🏼 🇮🇩

Dont lie, how many times have you cut yourself lol

I have always wanted to try this, but never found a good list of the things I’d need and why. I really appreciate your help by way of this movie. Now can you give me some talent to gobwithbthosecdupplies so that I can make pieces that people will like and which I can be proud to show??? Best wishes and much thanks! InscrutableJohn
