Dive into the materials needed for stained-glass art, from cutting glass to solder, and learn how to use them. Set up your workspace before discovering how to gather inspiration and make a concept board for your design. Create a sketch based on your inspiration and see how to turn it into a cutline. Next, learn how to cut and break glass safely.
Time to create your final artwork. Start by cutting each of your pieces using the skills learned earlier in the course. Then see how to stretch and cut the lead before assembling your panel. Learn how to solder professionally, and how to putty and polish your artwork. Finally, add the painted details to your stained-glass panel.
Attach loops to your piece in preparation for hanging in your home. To finish the course, Flora guides you through how to package and post your panels as gifts, as well as how to clean them and make sure they stay looking their best.

A course by Flora Jamieson
Flora Jamieson is a stained-glass artist based in Dorset, England. Growing up with a creative mother meant she began working with her hands from a young age. After graduating from university with a degree in media, Flora began working in a design studio where she rediscovered a fascination with stained-glass art that started in childhood. She completed multiple courses in the craft before going on to work in a stained-glass studio in London. After moving to Dorset to start a family, Flora began creating from her own studio and selling her work online.
Flora’s art is inspired by the natural world. She combines stained-glass commissions with working as a freelancer for studios across the UK. In 2016, Flora collaborated with artist and illustrator Vicki Turner and their work was showcased on many design blogs including Design Milk. Flora’s art has also been featured in magazines including The Financial Times, Elle Decoration, In Her Studio, Psychologies, and Homes & Antiques.

Excelente curso. Só uma pequena observação: as vezes a professora fala rápido demais e fica difícil para acompanhar a tradução em português. Mas ao voltar o vídeo algumas vezes é possível entender o que ficou sem sentido. Impressiona o requinte de detalhes na explicação dos conteúdos. Muito bom o curso!
