A Look Inside How Stained Glass is Made.

Creating stained glass sheets is an intricate process that blends artistry, chemistry, and craftsmanship. Starting with a mix of silica, soda ash, and lime, these raw materials are heated to a molten state and colored with metal oxides like copper, cobalt, manganese, and iron. Techniques such as cylinder or mouth-blown glass, crown glass, rolled glass, and flashed glass give each sheet its unique texture and character. From traditional methods to modern production, the magic of stained glass lies in its variety and the skillful hands that shape it. Trusted distributors like Delphi Glass, Spectrum Glass Company, and Bullseye Glass Co. provide the high-quality materials needed to bring these luminous creations to life.
