When I first started a roll of solder was 5.99 now it runs around 15.99-17.99. Copper foil is out of sight as well. Your supplies to get started are kind of expensive because you want a high quality soldering iron that will hold a steady temp as you work, also expensive. I now have 9 full windows that I have made work for and clipped it into the very edge of the window. You want to buy stained glass to begin with the determine if you want to get into the art further. It can be very expensive to get started and even continue right now. Put stained glass in google and start clicking on links. If you like I can email you a picture of how the window I have done turned out. Right now the hobby of stained glass is very expensive.

]]> Comment on What are the pseudo materials used to make stained-glass-like art? by mike1942f http://wholesalehandblownglassart.com/what-are-the-pseudo-materials-used-to-make-stained-glass-like-art#comment-25 mike1942f Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:23:02 +0000 http://wholesalehandblownglassart.com/what-are-the-pseudo-materials-used-to-make-stained-glass-like-art#comment-25 The fake stained glass with the plastic goop "lead" lines and the thin plastic film is available at craft stores. It should not be used where the sun will shine on it as it fades and may peel, especially if the glass is not very clean when applied (soapy water, rinse, dry, rubbing alcohol) If your kids are teens, you should consider working with real stained glass and copper foil with a soldering iron. You can build not only windows, but hanging sun catchers and 3D shapes including boxes, bowls and lamps. If you have a shop that sells stained glass in your area, you can take classes and enjoy looking at sheets of glass and picking colors to use. Some continuing, community, and adult education classes offer stained glass training also.

But Galle did small scale commercial sculptures successfully. Lino Tagliapietra is one of the acknowledged modern masters. Much modern glass sculpture has been cast glass in abstract. Look at the collection of Corning Museum of Glass (www.cmog.org) Art glass including Chihuly's has been based on vessels rather than solid sculpture. Sculpture in glass is relatively recent.
