Ancient craft - Making a stained glass window



Cutting the glass



Breaking the glass




Sawing the steel lead
Cutting the lead

Constructing the window

Correcting imperfections

Solder

It's done!

Today, totally inspired by Kirstie’s quest for ancient crafts, I went out and  learned an ancient craft. Making your own stained glass window. It takes a whole day but it's so rewarding. I asked Edwin if I could change the standard design just a little bit and I choose my own colors so it would match my stained glass window I already have in the kitchen. And so we did. The course is from 9.00 till 17.00 hours which includes a lunch and lots of beverages. And Edwin learns you all about the ancient craft.
