Finding The Best Stained Glass Supplies

For the stained glass newbie, finding the right  stained glass supplies can be a confusing venture.  Visiting the local craft shop or an online retailer will have the novice asking, are all these stained glass supplies really necessary?  Happily, the answer to that question is a resounding NO.  However, that does not make the job of getting the necessary tools any easier.

One of the best sources of information on stained glass supplies is through a local stained glass beginner’s class.  Not only are these courses a great way to learn the techniques of the art form, they will give you a better understanding of what supplies are important to have when starting the craft.

Many classes will allow students to borrow the studio’s more expensive stain glass supplies such as stained glass grinders, soldering irons and saws, however most require the purchase of basic tools.  Tools include glass cutters, a breaker/grozier pliers, burnishing tools, marking pens and rulers as well as soldering flux and foil and a foil shears.

In order to find the best suppliers from which to purchase these tools, it is again wise to consult a stained glass instructor.  Often they will have the basic tools available, and because they buy them in greater volumes, can offer you a discounted price.

In order to create a masterpiece that you will enjoy for years to come, it is imperative to purchase top quality stained glass supplies.  That's what we're here for.  We'll point you in the right direction and let you know what tools that you truly need and which ones are a waste of money.  Make sure you check back often.
