Sageleaf Whimsy Stained Glass Studio crafts stained glass works of art using two techniques.
One is the traditional 'lead came' method, using lead channel in between the glass pieces and into which the glass pieces
are inserted.
Once fully assembled the joints where the lead strips meet are soldered together securing the stained glass work of art together.
The other method of crafting stained glass artwork is by using copper foil.
The edge of each piece of glass is encased in permanent adhesive copper foil. Solder is then carefully applied over all the foil to join the
stained glass pieces together.
We can use either technique for flat glass pieces, like windows.
Only the copper foil technique is used for pieces that do not lay flat, that have curves or angles in them, like boxes or vases.
At Sageleaf Whimsy we craft beautiful, unique, lasting and memorable pieces of art for our clients to enjoy.
