Tricks
Every piece you create you will find something you don’t like about it.
One
Stained glass is an art form, so try to design your own work. Use your own photographs for ideas.
Two
Keep your studio area organized. Put all of your tools in a toolbox. It’s so easy to start leaving tools out and suddenly your studio is in chaos! Our studios should be as clean as an operating room! (Don’t look for pictures of mine.)
Three
If you are working in a small space or on your kitchen room table then use the Morton system to collect shards of glass. If you work on several small pieces at one time, keep the pattern peces on the Morton grid and stake the, for eas storage. keep you studio cleaning towels separate for your laundry. Cotton dish towels are much cheaper than paper towels.
four
Buy a 100 watt soldering iron and keep it clean. A rheostat will control the temperature for beginners. many companies make temperatuer controllers.
Five
Talk to glass artists and ask them about tools and glass that they use.
