Leaded Glass

The business of leaded glass is not just about appreciating an ancient and beautiful art form. In the last 20 years there has been an explosion in growth of glass studios and it appears this growth will continue. Today only 10% of all stained glasses are used in churches and other religious buildings; the rest are used in residential and industrial architecture. Though leaded glass has traditionally been used in windows, its use has expanded to lamp shades, Christmas ornaments, sun catchers, stained glass panels, cabinet doors, jewelry boxes, bracelets, and necklace pendants, to name a few.

The hundreds of local businesses and homeowners seeking custom designed pieces for windows, sign-age, door panels and more are the stained glass professional's main market. But this is not to mention "local art" community sponsored events, consignment shops, connecting with interior designers and subcontractors, online directories and portals, and a host of other possible markets. The opportunities are enormous and always growing.

The Diploma Course in Stained Glass supplies you with all you need to know to gain access to these markets. By the end of this course you will have the knowledge and skills to work as a freelance stained glass artist and be paid for your efforts.
