Stained Glass Painting – Here’s What You Need

Tools & Materials

Your Checklist

This is what you need:

  1. Brushes
  2. Sticks and needles which you can make or improvise for yourself
  3. Glass paint, gum Arabic and silver stain
  4. Kiln and controller, kiln trays (coming soon)
  5. Light box, palettes, palette knives, painting bridge, mixing bowl, jam jars and paint covers (coming soon)

Which represents a large sum of money. This is because you can’t do glass painting on the cheap – because if you get the cheapest, or if you don’t get what you really need, you’ll simply waste your money.

It’s just the same with teaching and instruction. Yes there’s a huge amount of high quality free information on this site. But beyond a point we must all invest in ourselves by paying in some way for the knowledge we need.

Bad brushes loose their hair.

Bad kilns ruin your glass.

Bad teachers don’t tell you the inside details which make the world of difference to your success as a glass painter.

Therefore invest in yourself. It’s fine if this takes time. After all, your beautifully painted glass can last for centuries.

The Talbot Hound: episode 1

by

The undercoat

Here’s what made us realise we had to film these episodes for you: a few weeks ago, someone commented on one of our short YouTube videos.

I see what’s happened here. The video title had raised their expectations. It suggested they could learn a skill like how to paint stained glass (true) in minutes (false).

Like “How to change the lightbulb on your Chrysler”.

But “How to paint stained glass” is not like that. It’s not like that at all.

David’s apprenticeship took 7 years (and counting), and mine was 4 (that’s why I can’t paint the same images he can).

Isn’t this a big part of the pleasure of why we take the pain to learn new skills? Time passes. We grow older. And along with the wrinkles comes the knowledge that this year we’ve improved our mastery of a skill: this time last year, we couldn’t have succeeded the way we can today. So time’s passage is now marked out by more than wrinkles. We’ve learned to achieve results we couldn’t achieve before.

But indeed the fault was ours for the video’s misleading title. It was click bait, which is always silly.

And what this comment made us realise is, we want to work with people who don’t need sensational titles.

We also want to work with people who are happy with longer videos videos (except when 5 minutes is all it takes). So if it takes 90 minutes or 3 hours, they’ll put the time in.

Here is episode 1 (a mere 11 minutes, but don’t panic, there’s much more to come). Download the video here. Watch it below. Afterwards, ask a question: if we’re not bound by client confidentiality, we’ll reply (though if you ask us “how do you … ?”, then sometimes we’ll have to say “It’s in this online course“, because teaching – like learning – takes a lot of time).

And, to be direct with you, the purpose of this series is not to instruct you but to offer you a glimpse of studio life – so you see how things work out in practise, which is often different from the theory (like when David tries to undercoat his glass, below).

And so, returning to the YouTube comment, to be direct with you: this really is like watching men flying jets.

The difference is, since we don’t cut out anything apart from a few seconds when I move the camera, these episodes will reveal a lot.

What they reveal, however, depends on you – you’ll all pick up on many different things:

In this episode, David paints new paws, and we discuss how much a project costs.

You can download the video here.

Have no fear: the hound will return later in the year.

Meanwhile, if you own our book, please will you write a short review on Amazon or iTunes – one of the best ways to keep this craft strong is, to welcome new students and give them confidence. Let’s work on this together. Thank you.
