Choosing Your Ideal Glass Craft Journey
New to glass? No worries. Leadlight is the classic way to build sturdy windows by tucking glass into lead strips. It is fantastic for making those bold, structural panels you see in local Brisbane homes.
Â
Copperfoil is a bit different, it involves wrapping each piece in fine copperfoil tape, allowing for brilliant suncatchers or 3D lamps with intricate curves. Copperfoil tends to be more forgiving throughout the process of cutting glass.
Â
You can even combine both techniques in one piece; if your leadlight panel needs a touch of fine detail, copperfoil can be mixed in beautifully. Whether you want to build a grand feature piece or a special gift, we have a workbench waiting for you.
Choose leadlight if you want:
- Bold, traditional style panels
- Stronger, more rigid pieces using lead came
- A classic stained glass look for doors or windows
Choose copperfoil if you want:Â
- Finer lines and more detailed designs
- Smaller pieces like suncatchers, lamps or jewellery
- A lighter more delicate look
