Introduction to Stained Glass: Traditional Leading Technique
This course introduces the traditional stained glass technique of using lead cames—once widely used from medieval churches to Art Nouveau architecture—offering a contrast to the more common Tiffany copper foil method. Guided by tutor Jingshi Wang, students will explore different types of glass (machine-rolled and handmade), work with traditional tools and materials (such as lead and tallow), and develop practical skills in cutting, glazing, and soldering. The course includes demonstrations, one-to-one guidance, and a short illustrated talk on the history and process of leaded stained glass.
