Stained Glass
Stained-glass windows have been admired for their utility and beauty since ancient Rome. And with the exception of modern tools, are created much in the same way. Cut and shaped pieces of glass are fitted into strips of lead (cames) and soldered to one another to secure the design. When the window is complete, putty is inserted between the glass and the lead cames for waterproofing. Today's Stained glass is not only used to create beautiful windows, but is popular for lampshades, boxes, cabinet doors, and many more 3-dimensional projects.
Fused Glass
Sometimes referred to as fused glass, warm glass, or kiln work, this craft involves creating a design with layers of glass which are “fused” together at temperatures over 1400 degrees in a glass kiln . With readily available materials and modern computer controlled kilns, glass fusing has exploded in popularity in the recent years.
