Stained glass is, at its core, the art of cutting small pieces of glass sheet into pieces and reassembling them to form a design. I use both copper foil and came in my stained glass work, depending on the requirements of the project.

For health reasons, my studio space is a lead-free zone. I exclusively use lead-free solder in my stained glass work, along with copper, zinc, or brass came. Traditionally, lead solder and lead came are at the center of all stained glass techniques, and are still commonly used by most stained glass artists. If you have concerns about coming into contact with lead, my lead-free stained glass pieces are a beautiful alternative!
