I remember as a kid riding my bike to school, there was a stained glass business in a Victorian-era mansion along the way and they did repairs as well as newly designed windows. I would stop by it sometimes and gaze at all the magnificent art within the windows and was amazed at everything I saw! It's a dying art in America and I wish it wasn't, we should get back to making beautiful pieces of architecture that are made to last instead of all the stuff that's slapped together today. Thank you for sharing your art and work with us!
What a wonderful piece of art. This was a joy to watch and the end result was just exquisite. I’m sure this will outlast us all as long as some vandal doesn’t decide to ruin it. Thank you for sharing.
Outstanding! I retired from doing stained glass after 45 years in the business in far West Texas and New Mexico in the US. It has been a few years since I cut a piece of glass. But now, you have fired up my desire to jump back into the art since i miss the creativeness and using color to brighten a room. I miss using my hands to make something worthwhile. However, I would only get back into stained glass as a personal hobby / endeavor since I no longer want to operate a business and deal with fussy clients, pay taxes, chasing commission work, dealing with suppliers and shipping headaches. What ever I would do is to please myself and gifts to friends and family. Your technique in doing stained glass is different than what I use to do. But, there is always more than one way to skin a cat. Towards the last few years while in business, I would draw my scaled designs on sheets of typing paper, then scan into my computer where i would use a CAD softare to fine tune the design and allow for much easier changes and print extra patterns for cutting glass and the layout. My patterns were printed on a large 48" format plotter by HP. For clients who had budget constraints, I could do stained glass look-a-like panels using glass, lead, multi-layered polyester film, bevels, jewels, etc.) to form a solid piece of decorative art glass. The finished product has the look and feel of traditional stained glass, but with the strength and integrity of a solid piece of safety glass. But, the technique has yet to stand the true test of time as traditional stained stained glass. A well built stained glass panel will last decades. The technique I described may last 10-15 years at best s ince adhesives start to break down.
Awesome! Thanks so much for your comments, and its great to know you also make stained glass windows. For sure there is more than one way to skin a cat, and I'm looking at scaling up my designs in a more 21st century way! Procreate on the iPad seems to be the way a lot of glass folk design their windows and print out the final design. I tend to draw mine out full size as they are usually are a one off commission not to be repeated. Best wishes, Derek
@DerekHuntArtist I started to do my designs with pencil and paper. But when software began to be developed for the art, I switched to that back in the 1990s. It allows for much easier changes that can be done quickly and easy storage of patterns. To me, it became tiresome to do large patterns on my shop floor and dealing with clients who change horses in midstream. Then, I would have to start over in many instances . After all, time is money and money is time.
So happy I found your tutorials Derek. I enjoyed watching, and Love your work. Thank you for your tips. Greetings from Tropical North Queensland Australia
This is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to watch all your other videos (and future videos too!). The choice to show brushstrokes and your own touches is perfect. I'm positive that if the person this is dedicated to could have seen it, they would have been overwhelmed and deeply touched by the love, attention to detail, and sheer beauty in this art.
You're a very talented artist. I really appreciated being able to watch this lovely stained glass get created from start to finish. Thank you for sharing this.
Masterful! I doubt there is a person who does not appreciate stained glass? It is such a beautiful art. You paint with the light in a way, it always creates this magical space in the room. (Hello from Bulgaria btw)
Really lovely. I love the mixture of abstract and geometric with organic subjects and traditional glass painting details. As you say, showing the artist's marks. I think it hits all the right notes.
WOW, Mr. Hunt...You're obviously a *master* of your craft...I'm always in genuine awe of such creative & supremely talented artists...Your work mesmerizes me...😊
I heard you on the Cracked podcast and had to find out more... this is the first video of yours that I have seen and it was so inspiring! (I'm new to glass and having fun with the copper foiling method) Anyway, you have broadened my horizons. Thank you so much for creating this and sharing it for all to learn.
Newbie question : Do you ever encase the stained glass windows with some reinforced glass pane on both the back and front of the stainglass pane, in order to protect it and maybe to also improve thermal insulation properties? Would this work or would it create condensation issues over time, like we see with old blown double glazing windows?
Hi Phil, yes you can put toughened safety glass on one or both sides of a panel. However you will create a micro climate between the stained glass and the clear glass which may cloud up or discolour over time. If you have an air gap on the top and bottom of the clear glass you reduce the possibility of clouding up. Hope that helps 🙂👍🏼
Thank you. This is beautiful and inspiring. I am just getting into stained glass so Im a super beginner. I didn't realize that you also added paint as you went. So much to learn. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lee, I use traditional vitreous glass paints sold at specialist outlets. Google Reusche glass paint suppliers in your area and you should be able to order online 🙂
I envy the steadiness of your hands in drawing and painting lines. My own have always had a tremor, it's a family trait, and that's been my single biggest limitation in making panels and windows. But we do the best we can, given our inherent limitations, right?
@@DerekHuntArtist - yes, and it does help, but I can't do a truly straight line or smooth curve even then. It's just something I have to live with. I still manage to make things that I like and am proud of, just maybe not up to the standards of you professionals!
Hello Derek, I make fused glass pieces and wish I was your pupil to work just like you do! I have 2 questions : 1) When the client agreed on the presented design, how do you plan the timeframe to complete the piece? In fact, I watched your video at Peter's studio where you had to make real size panels for a church project. So that preparation involved lots of time (traveling back and forth, sleeping, working, etc.). 2) When a piece has more than 1 panel, you secure them with copper wires and saddle bars. When a bar is at the joint of 2 pannels, do you need to put cement between the pannels to prevent water from seeping in the channel of the lead? Thank you so much for your follow-up and best regards, Joanne Côté Québec (Canada)
I love all of Derek's work. I like the look of the transparent images between two pieces of glass. In one of his videos, he wraps the two pieces with copper foil. But the final pieces like the one called Daughter really looks like lead came. The lines are really thick and incredibly straight. It looks amazing but I can't find lead came that has a channel wide enough for two pieces of lead came.
Hi Brian, Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated! You may be able to buy some wide heart lead came which is made to accommodate thicker pieces of glass. Standard heart lead is around 5mm deep but wide heart lead is around 7mm deep, so it can take thicker glass.
Great work thanks Derek. Ive watched this couple of times but didn't get where the glass easel gone😅 can anyone give me an explanation? Much appreciated. Thanks 🎉

Hi Simon, scratching back is done to the painted surface with small needles or sharpened sticks of wood before its fired in the kiln. Sometimes this is known as Sgraffito painting
Beautiful, thank you - I love the colour combinations together. I’d not appreciated that sandblasting would give the lightening effect / may have to have a play with my husband’s beadblaster 🤔🤔

No you don’t need to fire glass in a kiln if it doesn’t have paint, enamel or yellow stain on it. Coloured glass windows are called “Leaded lights” and windows which are painted and stained are called “stained glass windows” 👍🏼
Thanks for this Derek, I have really enjoyed your videos. Could you please tell me what the copper ties are that you mention towards the end of this video.
The copper ties are soldered to the main lead matrix and used to tie the window to horizontal supporting bars. This is the traditional way stained glass is made and supported to make sure it doesn’t bow or buckle over time 🙂
Hi! 🌿🪽 so beautiful!!! The top top beautiful stained glass I’ve ever seen in my life , I have a question is about the last step with tie up with the copper strings.. Do you leave little holes on each pieces for the copper strings to go through? Thank you
It would be amazing if you could make a video about the details of installing stained glass into window frame and the things that’s needs to be aware of. ( like size… ) 😄 thank you ! Appreciate!❤❤❤ congratulations for your beautiful work 😊😊
Two questions: do you use the thickness of the sharpie marker as your method to account for the thickness of the lead? And, how long will the plasticine hold on the glass easel?
Yes, the sharpie represents the thickness of the heart of the lead. Plasticine is not a strong method to support glass, especially when the environment gets warm, so don’t rely on that along to hold your glass in place. 🙂

Hi , what is that kids sticky stuff you use for sticking glass on the windows? USA name.
Thanks!
Love your videos!!!!!
In the UK it’s called plasticine modelling clay 🙂
Two questions: do you use the thickness of the sharpie marker as your method to account for the thickness of the lead? And, how long will the plasticine hold on the glass easel?
Yes, the sharpie represents the thickness of the heart of the lead. Plasticine is not a strong method to support glass, especially when the environment gets warm, so don’t rely on that along to hold your glass in place. 🙂
