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.
Copperfoil is a bit different—it involves wrapping each piece in fine copperfoil tape, allowing for brilliant suncatchers or 3D lamps with intricate curves. 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.
Leadlight is for you if you:
- “Leadlight is a great fit if you love the bold look of traditional windows, prefer working with larger geometric shapes, want to learn the heritage craft of using lead came, and want to focus on making sturdy panels for doors or entryways.”
Want help choosing a project? G'day! Let this simple guide show you the best path.
