Where can I get a kit to make a stained glass lamp?
I saw Delphi…but I am looking for something modern. Any suggestions?
There are classes that are good for first time stained glass artists…. here’s one in Berkley :http://www.stainedglassgarden.com/workshops; also some pre cut kits at this site:http://www.glassmart.com.
It’s not as easy as it looks to make a lamp…. you should start off with a few small projects first.
Also it’s expensive, the glass is only part of it, with stained glass you need a grinder, cutters, copper foil and metal soldering tools..for a lamp you also need a frame to work on. Good Luck….:)

I have a lovely stained glass lamp ( I didn’t make it), cost $150.00 but would have cost double that to have made it….and No it’s Not Plastic!
best bet is find a stained glass studio, and do in a class, that way you can share or identify what tools you want to buy there, share glass etc., there are a lot of tricks to leaded glass, and this is most efficient way.
