Wow! I was 1 year old when the shop opened. That's humbling.
अगर आता हो तो मुझै काम मिल सकता है क्या सर
It might be silly but being a young artist I really wish u could have a greenhause litteraly MADE of stained glass. Do you think its even possible?
Waoooo me emociona tanto ver esta belleza 😢😢😢 hasta la lagrima se me salió, me estremece ver tanto talento y tanta generosidad al compartirnos estos momentos de creación, GRACIAS ❤❤❤ ESTO ES LA MAGIA DEL ARTE!!!! QUE ALIMENTA EL ALMA
Horses for courses, methinks?
Derek, is that a Hakko temp control iron you're using at the beginning? I've had the usual Weller 100w @ 6mm for years, and now I've returned to st. glass after many years, I think my Weller is way too hot. It turns 50/50 to water, and other sized bits are like pulling teeth to find. Am I better off investing in the Hakko to have temperature adjustment for each solder and came/foil? Also, I've seen opposing advice on soldering foil. One says to use freer flowing 60/40 to gap fill, then round off with 50/50. The other says exactly the opposite. How do we tell who's accurate? Your tip cleaner pad seems to indicate on the package that it's not for lead. Am I misreading it, before I purchase one?
Hi Niall, I would suggest you try the Hakko iron as the temperature controller is great for regularing the tip heat when using different solders. The best thing is to buy a couple of sticks of different solder types and try them out. I've never liked 50/50 solder as I find it doesn't flow as well as I want, but other folks seem to like it. Try it out for yourself and see what works for you. 🙂
Thanks, Derek. As I've said, even the harder 50/50 flows TOO well with my Weller. Perhaps that's best consigned to when I return to lead came. Meanwhile, I'll have to bite the bullet and buy a Hakko for foil work. Cheers.
@@niallwildwoode7373 you're welcome
Dear Artist and teacher Derek Hunt, I have done some experiments with oxides. I have taken a small course on glass painting with oxides in university. The results are uploaded on my account. you can see on my account's latest video by Just visiting the account.
Great thanks
My pleasure!
Hard to sustain art when there's virtually nothing left of the underlying culture
I’m of the view that “Culture “ is always evolving and being added to, it’s not something frozen in time 🙂
I have a rounded sunglasses. I need to cut them down around the edges. It looks like wolverine so I'd like to cut the top.
Such an informative video. You are a great teacher.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching !🙏🙂
Really cool i see im one of a few here that came so see what i was doing wrong after the mistake was done 🤣 when i was cutting i saw that the glass sometimes broke where i didnt even cut on the inside of the line and outside. I suppose my tools wasnt sharp enough or perhaps i was using to much force
Glad you found the tutorial helpful!
Absolutely magical
Heavenly, Celestial !
Protestant stained glass is so impersonal. Vibrancy in the art is not only in design and color but in the story communicated. Mere symbols don’t communicate a narrative. Saints in their settings and depictions of biblical stories bring a vitality to the interaction with the viewer.
Astounding. This is my third time to watch this video, and I get more out of it each time. It is so impressive to watch that my brain stops hearing the words and I’m making involuntary comments, oohing and wowing. Next time I will hear more of what is being said, but it is just so beautiful to watch this…
@@utubehanna that’s really great to hear that you find the tutorial valuable, and thanks for your support !🙏😀
Hello! I see you hold it at a 45 angle when you cut and do mention it, but before you say you want to hold it at 90°, why mention the 90?
You’re right about holding the cutter at a 45 degree angle in the direction you are moving the cutter along the X plane. Holding the 90 degree angle refers to the Y plane to make sure the cutter wheel is in the right position in relation to the glass. Hope that explains it a little better 🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist thankyou for getting back to me! I will try this today.
9:41 thank you for sharing other channels that I can go to for further learning on how to properly create my stained glass art!
You’re welcome!
Hi 👋 first time viewer and now subscriber here! Somehow KZread brought me to Glass staining making channels 🤷♀️ But it has awakened the artist in me, and has reminded me about how I used to as a teen draw and carve on mirrors designs that I thought were pretty, for myself. This was back in the early 2000s, And it was just something that popped into my head cuz I love to draw. And I never really thought that it was something that anybody else would enjoy. But these channels have definitely inspired me to want to learn how to create stained glass art, especially art pieces that I haven't seen out there of fandom things that I love! I hope to binge watch your channel and learn everything I can learn as a beginner so I can create my designs and maybe one day share them with others!
@@Jesi-g Hey Jesi Great to see your comments. I made this channel for people just like you who are curious about stained glass and want to get creative with it! Welcome 🙏🙂
Gracias por todo lo que compartes es oro molido como el amarillo de plata gracias ❤
Thank you for your support!🙏🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist gracias a ti por contestar y por el corazón! Te admiro y te amo por lo que nos ofreces! Eres grande!!! Como artista y maestro!
😮
😊
A gas kiln...YES! I'm off grid and to make that much power means cranking up my big diesel gennie, which isn't ideal. I've an old gas ceramic kiln which I could rebuild for glass I guess.
Awesome! Let me know how you get on Niall 😀
@@DerekHuntArtist Will do, Derek. BTW, have you ever tried putting plant material between glass, then firing it to fuse? The plant organics and carbon burns off before slumping, then the fused results holds the intricate white ash filigree within. It's in one of my art books, 'Art From Found Materials' by Mary Lou Stribling, pgs 217-218, pub. 1970. Another bowstring there maybe?
@@niallwildwoode7373great recommendation! Thanks
f
Hello. Can you help? I want to start doing it.. Could you tell me which tools, Soldering iron, ? Lead? thickness? black clay at the end? The thickness of lead and glass? What kind of company is lead? etc ..... I will be very grateful..
Hi Seriy, please email me your email address and I will send over more information.
@@DerekHuntArtist Your KZread settings.. I am not allowed to leave my email address.. My records are not saved here.. ( What should I do?
@@seriyfamiliya2263 send me an email to [email protected]
I have a question, if you don't mind. We have a huge antique mirror that we want to cut down. are there special considerations for cutting old thick glass? Thanks so much!
Hi Millie, it is possible to cut mirror on the non silver side, up to a glass thickness of 6mm. Be very careful when cutting large pieces of glass, especially if you have not done this before. It may be wise to take the large mirror to a glazier to have the glass cut down to a new size.
This was THE best tip- I was getting oil everywhere, lol Been doing this about 2 months now- thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for your support 🙏🙂
Hola pintamos los dibujos y a que temperatura lo horneamos
650 centigrade for 7 minutes then switch the kiln off 🙂
I wish they hired non Germans. That would be an absolute dream job.
Yes, looks an amazing job for sure!
@@DerekHuntArtist i get why they keep it local. they dont even really hire people from the next county, let alone the next country even though theres glassblowers all over the world whod absolutely pay to work there lol
Great video, thank you. Can I ask, what does the oil on the tip of the cutter do? What difference does it make if you don't use oil?
WD40 works great!
@@DerekHuntArtist Thanks for your reply Derek. It didn't answer my question though. What I was trying to ask is why do you oil the tip of the cutter? What does the oil do in the glass cutting process? Does it just lubricate the cutting wheel? Does it create a cleaner cut? Or something else?
@@icepotato2800the oil helps to lubricate the wheel. In medieval times glass cutters had small diamond tips to score the glass, but wheels do a better job. Oil does not affect the glass cutting process or change the surface properties of the cut, it just helps the wheel to spin smoothly 🙂
Thank you for putting yourself out there and showing the world your art and craft. I have learned so much from watching you!
Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to me!
I've been thinking about leveraging your knowledge for some time now. The in-person course is tough because of my current stage of life with 4 young children but want to build starting with the basics as to not have knowledge gaps even though I'm a bit more advanced. Appreciate what you're bringing to the market - that you recognize a need and see an opportunity.
Hey Joe, completely understand you can’t always get over to do an in person course because of family commitments . Perhaps the online version will work better for you. Thanks for your support and hope you enjoy all the content.
Absolutely brilliant course
Hi Nigel, Thanks so much , it’s really great to hear that you are finding the Stained Glass Making 101 course valuable! Derek 🙏🙂
also may i say to the gal whose cylinder fell off the punty. i will never forget the first time that happened to me. utterly traumatic lol. for what its worth the pattern was beautiful AND quite close to your drawing. better luck next time miss.
ok now im done with the vid. and holy crap guys!!!! you made a completely artisanal version of lamberts glass. that is amazing! also a company called uroboros was part of the original system 96, and it was created by a guy who made sheets of glass to order for stained glass workers in the 1970s. your spirit of art glass is to be commended.
my focus was mixing kilnworked pattern bar techniques with traditional cane and murrine techniques. i hadnt really considered the potential to make sheets of glass from that, as sheet glass is typically a component OF that, but you know... theres some amazing possibilities for some cool sheets within what i did. exceptionally thought provoking
Awesome! Thanks for your support!
man id get so much joy out of making sheet glass for people like this. what a pleasure to see. i miss blowing glass.
Hey Josh, glad you liked the video !
Hi I really enjoy your channel I've learned so much one thing I need to know is where to get that Reusche oil paint medium you talk about
Hi Robert, depends where you are based. In the UK you can get it here www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/reusche-water-based-painting-medium
Christ I have bench in the corner of my shed.
Keep on truckin' !😁
So inspiring !!
Thanks Carl 🙏🙂
I've only just discovered you as I want to get back into SG, years after learning at evening classes. I'm creating natural builds on my land in Cumbria, and all will have a plethora of SG in them. You're now my go-to for advice and inspiration.....thankyou so much for your channel.
Hey Niall that brilliant news! This channel is made for folks like you who want to learn all about stained glass. Welcome onboard !

Me too!
You look like Brad Pitt 🎉 thanks for the videos!
Wow, thanks!
Nice ad.
Thanks! 😃
Fabulous! You both have thrown out the book of rules!!!
Haha! Thanks so much for watching and for your support!
Brilliant advice. Thank you. 💕
You are very welcome!🙏🙂
I started getting into glass because I'm working on a memorial pice in honor of my mom. I just want to say thank you for being an amazing teacher 😃 also I hope it's not to much, can you give an update on your health? I just seen the video about you having cancer and my heart goes out for you 🧡 I can relate by understanding in a different way what you are going through. My mom was a cancer survivor but ultimately she never stopped fighting the battle because of the toll it had on her body. I just want you to know that you have been a great help and inspiration to many people. Thank you!
Thank you so much Maria, that is very kind of you. My health is good, thanks to the wonderful NHS treatment I received🙂
I'm a 4th generation stained glass artist and started teaching people interested in learning in classes offered at the American Arts and Crafts in St.Petersburg Florida. I noticed a great interest in the art and some students found a skill that they didn't know that they have. The classes are growing day after day and now I'm having glass fused classes that eventually these pieces could be incorporated into stained glass panels.
American Arts and Crafts Museum of St.Petersburg Florida.
Awesome news! Very glad you are able to pass on your skills to the next generation 👏👏👏👏
Thankyou for this. I've had trouble getting the glass to split evenly after making straight cuts. Don't think I've seen anyone else do the tapping with the butt-end of the cutter before. Worked perfectly!
Glad I could help!🙏🙂
Beautiful work, a beautiful Chateau De Colombe 300 year old tiny chapel needs 2 small windows... perhaps reach out 😊
That would be cool! Let me know if I can help 🙂
