I absolutely love your style of making stainglass! The form and colours are amazing! And the painted details like the dandelions add a little more life and magic to it. Your style I would put somewhere between Mucha and Gaudi: Mucha paints beautiful, detailed stories in his works, makes a perfect picture on glass, while Gaudi "colours" the light in the room with his stainglasses; you do both in the same time with a touch of modernity. This is almost whichcraft 😁 in a good way, of course 😊.
I appreciate how you pointed out that the medieval piece's lead lines were repairs. I'm glad they didn't try to remake the original glass and kept that to keep the history. On the next repair I would hope they would use thinner lead lines with kintsugi (gold) technique
Thank you for the nice Video. Before watching this video, I considered the leadlines mostly as a necessity, as a sort of limitation. But now I think more, if you cannot beat them, join them !
Thank you for this fantastic video Derek. I want to ask you if you can make a video on Copper Red. There is is info on yellow stain but on Red there is none. Please be so kind. And thank you for sharing your knowledge .
Derek, Thank you. I always look forward to your videos. They are the most inspirational stained glass videos I’ve discovered. Please continue to share your amazing wealth of knowledge. Many thanks, Donna (from the Mendocino Coast)
Hi Donna! Great to hear from you on the Mendocino Coast! How’s the weather? I imagine it’s a bit better than here in the UK. So glad you liked the vid 🙏🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist Thank you Derek, We are enjoying some mild sunny weather after a welcome rainy December. We did wake to a tsunami advisory this morning. Looking forward to your next video. Donna
Love your ideas! I do all types of glass art and I'm totally hooked but your ideas are incredible and I'm getting ready to fool around with photo images on glass which I know is just a little bit different than your process but it's so cool! I can't wait to play. Thank you!
Very interesting video Derek, thank you.When I first started in stained glass I had no previous experience and thought that the lead got in the way of the image I was trying to create. After I got some experience it dawned on me (Doh!) that they are an integral part of the image. I don’t think my work has improved very much over the years, but at least I know what I’m trying to achieve even if I don’t get there. I have learned so much from your videos and the talks you have done at the GBMGP, thanks.
Hi Foot Loose, great to hear you get something worthwhile from the vids ! I think we all thought lead lines 'got in the way' of the design, and it takes time to realise they can be a really important bit of the whole :)
Great video, I always seem to struggle with the designing process and where to put lead lines to the point I just give up :( for instance how would you go about knowing where to put the lead lines of a picture of a renaissance angel painting for instance?
Ah ha! That’s a tricky one as I cant see the image in question ! I suppose the idea is to design with the lead lines as a key part of the design, rather than an afterthought. Good luck and let me know how you get on 🙏🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist Yes that would make more sense to design with the lead lines as a key part of the design. I don’t have an image that I’m working on at the moment of an angel but I really want to because I love angels…. The idea was to turn a picture of a renaissance angel into a stain glass cartoon but easier said than done for a novice like myself 😬
Hello Derek Im Learing to make grisaille...I dont have the oven actually...about the line (with trementine base) when I have to make some corrections on the dry line do you think I have to make all again? Do you show in one of your videos how to make corrections on it? Thanks and greetings from Italy
Hi Fabrizia, thank you for your question - I had to Google trementine 😄 It is pine oil yes? So try mixing your paint with clear vinegar and leave for 24hours. Then you can scratch your lines to make corrections. If you want to paint over the lines again, this time mix the paint with water and repaint over your original lines. Vinegar first, then water second. That way the paint will not lift off when you paint over it. Ok? Hope that helps, let me know how you get on. 🙏🙂
Hi Seraphena, thanks for your question. You can use a number of products to edge bond crack together. Here are a couple of ways. HXTAL Epoxy Adhesive is an ultra pure resin that remains water white (clear and totally transparent) over a long period of time even with exposure to direct sunlight. This is an exotic and very high-tech adhesive that is far more sophisticated than hardware store epoxy adhesive, although it is a little more than twice the cost of most of these cheaper epoxies. Here is a supplier in the UK www.creativeglassshop.co.uk/page/30/hxtal-nyl-1.html The alternative is to use a non-acid neutral cure clear silicone glue which will give more flexibility to the repair. This can be purchased from a number of hardware suppliers. Hope that helps, Best wishes, Derek
Great video, I’ve visited Ely Stained Glass Museum and it is brilliant. You are so close to the pieces on display. It’s inspiring and a place to revisit and revisit ☺️ So are you saying you decide on lines before you draw the design or draw the design then decide on where the lines go? Does it matter which way you do it?
Hi Sharon, glad you’ve been to Ely stained glass museum - it’s brilliant! So I’m saying take how you place your lead lines as seriously as how you do the coloured design - they’re not just a background thing to hold the glass together, they are a really strong part of the whole design ( as important as the coloured bits) 👍🏼🙂

Well done Derek. I didn't know that about John Piper.
Cheers Guy, hope you’re all good !
These are the tutorials I have been looking for, thank you.
Great to have you onboard!

Excellent Carl, yes leadlines are an important part of the overall design
can you show us some inspirational stained glass hallway entrances?
Very informative
Thanks so much
Patricia
You're very welcome David!
