Sapphireblue.com Presents: Adventures in Dangerous Art (WITHOUT LIGHT TABLE I WOULD BE LIKE A BLIND PAINTER.)

In a thread at Glass Chat on the topic of glass for reproduction Tiffany lamps, I found a link to an amazing photo essay on the construction of a 22" Tiffany tulip lamp by a glass studio in Essen, Germany.

A million photos show just how much work goes into one of these mammoth lamps. Hans-Peter and Gudrun did it in two weeks. One day I'd like to build one of these, but not for a long time... and even then, I have a feeling it'll take me a hell of a lot longer than that.

I'm learning the art (or is it a craft?) of stained glass. At this weblog, I record progress, note useful links, and document flesh wounds. Links The Art League Where I took a lead class and a 3D construction class. Weisser Glass Studio Where I buy supplies, and where I took a foil class. Virginia Stained Glass Co. Where I buy supplies if I happen to be in Springfield and if they happen to have what I want. Warner-Crivellaro Great prices on supplies, a lively and helpful Glass Chat message board, and excellent Technical Tips on stained glass tools and techniques. Glass Galleries Links List A list of Glass Chat users who've uploaded photos of their work. The StoreFinder: Stained Glass Store Front Lots of articles. ArtGlassArt.com Tutorials Even more articles. Particularly recommended: "Anatomy of a design" and "Wood frames." rec.crafts.glass Courtesy of Google Groups. Nancy's Beginner Tips and Tricks Scoring, breaking, soldering, finishing, and more.
