Don’t miss out!

If you’re serious about painting beautiful stained glass designs, do not miss what we can teach you.

  • Why make unnecessary mistakes with badly mixed paint when we can show you how the experts mix their paint? (Hint: experts don’t mix one tablespoon at a time!)
  • Why fire your glass many times when we can show you how to paint glass in just one firing? (We sometimes paint 5 or more layers of paint, then fire our glass just once.)
  • Why paint on just one side of the glass? (Painting on the front and back creates a magical sense of depth as we will show you.)
  • We can show you how to paint on the back and front in just one firing. (Again, this is a technique which will not just save you time but also add beauty to your work.)
  • Everyone says, “Paint the trace lines first”: we show you why everyone is wrong! We show you how to paint the shadows first. Believe us, it’s astonishing. See for yourself.)
  • And now ... how to paint with oil on top of unfired water-based paint. (Not even Albinus Elskus explains this in his book.)
