The recently launched StainedGlassNetwork.com offers both hobbyists and professionals alike a huge single website resource for all things related to the art of creating stained glass.
“Most people can spend hours searching the web for project ideas and answers.” said Marc Harris, a partner at stainedglassnetwork.com, “We have gathered the best stained glass project information together in one place and added how-to videos, detailed instructions and key tips to help further each artist’s ability, no matter what level of skills they have.”
One thing that sets the Stained Glass Network apart from other similar websites is the depth of the resource content. The site explains in detail what is necessary to become a successful stained glass artist and provides the information and tools necessary via text, videos and still images. There are also free patterns and guides explaining how to create and resize a stained glass pattern.
In addition to the project features and videos, the site has a tremendous amount of stained glass related links to suppliers, manufacturers, publications and classes. There are also links to examples of great stained glass, some famous, others less known, but just as beautiful. Most links in the resource area contain detailed contact information and a map.
The site also offers unusual stained glass projects that can be made out of readily found objects. As an example, there is a detailed project showing how to turn a first-generation Macintosh computer into a stained glass lamp. Other examples and instruction projects are coming with a similar theme of uniqueness and creativity.
