Derek- I need to say that I enjoy your videos immensly!! I have restored traditional stained glass windows for 30 years now with 10 years of that as a full time business. It is so refreshing to watch and listen to you in my shop as I work, you are an inspiration to me as some days i feel that I am all alone working everyday in this business. As a past professor, I applaud your teaching and please know that I believe in "Life Long Learning" and am learning from you!! Thank you so much, keep up the good work in providing quality educational videos for all of us out there in the field! As a side note, as a life long hands on artist, you have inspired me to go ahead and push the envelope with all the designs and drawings I have stuffed into a cabinet for years! I secretly love contemporary designs, even though all my restoration work is traditional and historic in nature. I can't wait to find the time to grasp my abstract ideas and run with them. Thank you again
Dear Rho D, your comments really mean so much to me, thank you. I always hope my videos find their way to viewers just like you, who have a passion for glass and an interest in learning. I am forever the student myself, and want to learn from others and pass on the things I’ve learned to the next generation. Thank you again 🙏🙂
Hi Derek im very interested in you doing more painting on glass & maybe installation of a window or transom just to see the correct way, as i would like to know if it goes on the inside over clear glass or if the good side of a window faces outside just on its own, Thankyou
I will be doing more glass painting tutorials when I have time to film them, probaly later in the spring. Generally stained glass is single glazed without a second clear glass, and the painted side is always inward facing. Hope that helps, best wishes, Derek
@@DerekHuntArtist yes Thankyou, that is helpful, if it wasn't painted & just stained glass is it the same process ? & do you silicone caulk it in place ?
thank you so much !! got me to step out of the box and open up a new avenue... looking forward to watching your videos .... I want to do this for my supervisor whom is retiring end of this year and lost her son 3 years ago ... this helped me so much
Like to learn more, want to book a course? For details on all my glass painting and stained glass courses please book through my web site here www.limelightstudios.co.uk/courses
Derek - many thanks for your time on these videos and your knowledge. It is truly second to none for those of us trying to push the medium. Big thanks for being someone who is doing so.. I've had many teachers in glass who had 'old school rules' like you described & they try to keep artists from exploring whats possible. I was given crazy responses for wanting to do what you do and im happy to see I wasn't so crazy after all. Keep up the good work
Brett, that’s very encouraging to hear and thank you for your support. Feel free to share the videos with others who want to push the medium in new directions too 🙂
Just catching up on your videos. Will you be doing a video on choosing a kiln? Don't have huge budget and am home based hobbyist maybe will sell work in future. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Susanne, Thank you for your good kiln review suggestion which I'll think further about. I know there are some small electric devices which people are using with glass paints, but haven't had any experience of using them directly. Best wishes, Derek
First and foremost-love your work, Derek. After watching your previous video I’ve been hoping you’d start uploading more. These videos are produced nicely and are very informative. As someone trying to learn traditional painting from books, it’s so helpful to see the painting process demonstrated. Any further videos you can make on painting, the various mediums, even brushes, would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Hello Derek, Your videos are certainly very helpful in helping me understand how fused glass, once an orthodoxe artistic technique, has evolved in a sense that paint is no more the only medium used to animate a work of glass. I would certainly love to hear you more about all media that can be used in fused glass projects and the lifespan of such modern projects. "I would have never guessed that a film coming out of a printer could be used to create fused glass". I thank you so so much for generously and professionnally sharing your knowledge in the field of stained glass. Joanne Ontario (Canada)
Great video! I understand you said that this technique it's not a finished job, you say that because it's not suitable for outdoors? Could you include on a future video something about different techniques versus durability/ resistance to outdoor elements? That would be really interesting! Thanks a lot 😊
Great video. Yes, please, keep them coming. Your pacing and presentation are perfect and the subject matter is very interesting to me as an artist beginning to explore two dimensional glass techniques.
This is a fantastic video. Loved it. So the acetate sheets would not be used as a permanent means of having a photograph in your piece? I suppose it would fade in time. Thanks again Derek. I'm loving this . . .
Yup, this is just a quick way to get an effect in glass, and not really a long term way to make stained glass, as it will fade over time especially if inkjet printed.
Inspirational...thank you Derek for sharing your creativity and mastery...love all your tutorials! (Living in Spain where artists in our field are few)
@@DerekHuntArtist you can't imagine..truly. launched myself finally into working with glass..colour..light..the alchemy of triggering our senses...loving the interviews too (Gill Hobson...as an installation artists it all just seemed to gel this journey all i have learnt and done...and so much more to learn and create...thank you again ...a wonderful gateway you have opened 🙏
This was so helpful! I'm working on a project that was to incorporate text from a book and this method was just the solution I was looking for. I've only done a few projects and you re inspiring me is a totally new direction. Keep those videos coming!
Hi Derek, I would like to paint onto glass is this possible without firing? If so what paints would I use. Thank you for any advise just looking for a way in!
I only really use kiln fired paints and stains, but you can find cold enamels online which can be used without firing. This might work amzn.eu/d/0ikK1WR4
remarkably inspiring . . . I am constructing barrister-style bookcases with glass fronts, interested in integrating stained glass panels, with design/images inspired by life with a puppy, a cat, some hens, and a pond full of mallards. (a background in ceramics helps immensely with thinking broadly re materials & design.) thank you for the inspiration. I'll be in London in late Sept, considering your workshop. regards from the Pacific Northwest.
Hi Derek, Firstly, thank you for these wonderful videos, your work is truely inspirational and I wish I lived nearer you to be able to attend one of your classes. I am a glass painting beginner and I wanted to ask how you got the effect of the beautiful light girl dancing in the dark colbolt blue background please? Thank you.
Hi Deborah, if you’re watching the “Mixed Media” stained glass video, the image of the dancer is printed onto acetate, not hand painted. That video was all about using printed images on glass. Hope that helps 🙂
Amazing work and great videos. Have you used any photographic exposure methods of getting an image on glass? I will definitely now try out your laminating of film between layers method. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.
Thank you for this informative video - much appreciated & I have watched others of yours & have subscribed to your channel. I'm presently doing stained glass but find myself also being drawn into glass painting & engraving. Living in a small apartment does not allow me to use a kiln for firing so I've been dabbling in Americana Gloss Enamel glass paints, by DecoArt, that fire in the oven. It's a start & keeps me moving forward with this art. Aside from your great videos, are there any books that you can recommend, to learn & grow from? Again, thank you for doing your part of encouraging future generations in this art form. Blessings
Hi Dan, Thank you so much for your very helpful feedback. Very good to hear you find the videos helpful, that’s the reason I make them to spread understanding and appreciation of the art form. The best book I can recommend to learn about glass painting is by Author Elskus Albinas, and it’s called The Art of Painting on Glass: Techniques and Designs for Stained Glass. Still available second hand on Amazon I see. Thanks for subscribing and good luck with your work in glass 🙂
Greetings Derek, Thank you for your work in glass art and for your generosity in sharing your techniques. A question, do the small glass squares stay put without glue or do they move around? I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You, Lori
Hi Lori, to answer your question the glass tiles are just loose inside two panes of glass, held together by being packed together closely. See my other video here for more details th-cam.com/video/0zmXEv0ZnBA/w-d-xo.html
Hello Derek, That's so gorgeous. I make fused glass pieces (small to medium sizes) and I truly wish I was your pupil to work stained glass just as you do. So I have questions : 1) When a client has agreed on your proposed design, how will you know the time frame needed to complete the panel(s) : In fact, I watched the video you made when in Germany (Peter's studio) to make the best possible samples for your design presented to a church. You then had to travel (few days), make the samples, etc... 2) When a design has more than one panel, when installed, you secure them with copper wires and saddle bars. One bar could be installed horizontally in the middle of one pannel (depending on its height) whereas another could be at the joint of two pannels. In that particular case, do you have to use some cement in the channels of the lead bars to make sure water won't seep into them? Thank you so much for your follow-up and best regards. Joanne Côté Québec (Canada)
Hi Joanne, So glad you liked the video. To answer your question 1 the time depends on how busy I am with other projects. I usually only give estimated completion times. Question 2, the joint at each panel does not have cement between it, just dry glazed. The top lead covers the botton lead so no water gets through the joint 🙂
I love your videos Derek, thank you so much! I wonder what size of copper tape is needed to join two glasses, could you tell me? I've seen people put tape on each glass and then join them together, but the way you do it, it looks neater. Thank you! ❤️
So glad you found the video helpful! I used 5mm wide copper foil, but you can get lots of different thicknesses, so experiment a bit with different sizes :-)
I find your film/laser printer hack interesting but obviously not a permanent solution. You mentioned screen printing I believe, which is how I do it (because I'm better with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop than I am with a brush). Have you done a screen printing on glass video, or do you plan on doing one in the near future?
Hi David, I have done quite a few screen printed commissions, but I use a specialist company for that here in the UK. I don’t screen print myself, however it’s a good suggestion for a video, and I’ll look into it further 🙏🙂
Wonderful video, thank you. What would you say the life span of an acetate print would be if sandwiched between glass as you did and used as a component in a piece which was kept out of direct sunshine? I realise this is ‘taboo’ but am so tempted!
Good question! I have a sample panel which was made in 2004 and its still ok. However, it was printed using a black and white laser printer. The ink jet printers don't last as long.
In the video I use 3mm clear glass as the bottom layer then 3mm coloured glass on top. So your lead needs to be able to take 6mm thickness of glass :-)
Wow, great video, that’s an interesting technique on using printed film, wouldn’t it fade over time? Are you using 2mm or 3 mm float glass to Nake the layers? I didn’t even know about dry glazing...very interesting. I would definitely be interested in traditional portrait painting on glass paints....it’s mind boggling but something I’m attempting to learn. Thank you for sharing theses great videos 👌
Hi Derek, Another great video, thanks :-) When you screen-print onto glass, what paint do you use and what do you mix it with (e.g. oil, medium, water or whatever?) And do you usually print on the underside or on top...and once fired, is it durable outside as well as indoors (i.e. is it as durabe as other methods of application?? Thanks. Kate
Hi Kate, When I've done my own screen printing I usually mix regular iron oxide glass paint ( tracing black will give the best results) with a screen printing medium such as pine oil, or a commercially produced screen printing medium. I print twice onto the same sheet of glass to get a stronger printed image then fire in the kiln in the usual way. I print on the side of the glass which will face inside the building to protect it from the weather, in the same way as you would with regular painted images. Hope that's helpful. Best wishes, Derek :)
Thank you for sharing your expertise and giving me the confidence to keep experimenting.

Hi Sue, great to hear from you and awesome you found the video helpful. I’ll be posting more inspirational videos soon so please let me know how you’re getting on 🙂
WOW! I began looking for how to paint on an existing window. It's an important & meaningful project to celebrate the life my late husband & I.shared. He was a painter at heart, though not for a living & some of his best paintings are all over my little house. He was fascinated by geometric forms in nature even a !are nice which used to hang in our living room. Occasionally some.conservative neighbor or whomever would appear a bit surprised & we'd have to say, " Look.C!OSELY at the painting. John painted lines around the geometric shapes in her body. Anyonc can tell it has no romance or erotic life! It's in the small 2nd bedroom.that is also a little den-music( one wall is his orange crates filled with.about 300 vinyl albums. So I want to paint the large window in it with geomstrics PLUS! Because parts of the pattern haven't yet come to me. Your.videos ( the.super stain.blew me away!) have opened up a whole new world to me. Photos in.StU e Thank you. You've changed a whole important project I will.do. It's painting a large existing window in a small bedroom that also reflects my.late husband'S artist at heart, music lover ( one wall is his orange crates filled with about 300 vinyl albums) & an, in his words, "aging hippie". There are music posters & framed 8 a 19's of Tom Waits, John Steinbeck ( we went up.to.Monterey.each.summer), Martin Luther King & Eleanor Roosevelt. The.Beatles ,& Woodstock. It's been a long time making it all fit perfectly. And a very large window ( code Escape Window). Now I know that I need to learn & practice so much more before deciding how to.celebrate US & our family. One great hack.I learned in a craft video is to pick up.diploma frames from the $1 store for.glass! I am more excited to learn something than I've been in six years. Thank.You! a i

Hi Sue, great to hear from you and awesome you found the video helpful. I’ll be posting more inspirational videos soon so please let me know how you’re getting on 🙂
WOW! I began looking for how to paint on an existing window. It's an important & meaningful project to celebrate the life my late husband & I.shared. He was a painter at heart, though not for a living & some of his best paintings are all over my little house. He was fascinated by geometric forms in nature even a !are nice which used to hang in our living room. Occasionally some.conservative neighbor or whomever would appear a bit surprised & we'd have to say, " Look.C!OSELY at the painting. John painted lines around the geometric shapes in her body. Anyonc can tell it has no romance or erotic life! It's in the small 2nd bedroom.that is also a little den-music( one wall is his orange crates filled with.about 300 vinyl albums. So I want to paint the large window in it with geomstrics PLUS! Because parts of the pattern haven't yet come to me. Your.videos ( the.super stain.blew me away!) have opened up a whole new world to me. Photos in.StU e
Thank you. You've changed a whole important project I will.do. It's painting a large existing window in a small bedroom that also reflects my.late husband'S artist at heart, music lover ( one wall is his orange crates filled with about 300 vinyl albums) & an, in his words, "aging hippie". There are music posters & framed 8 a 19's of Tom Waits, John Steinbeck ( we went up.to.Monterey.each.summer), Martin Luther King & Eleanor Roosevelt. The.Beatles ,& Woodstock. It's been a long time making it all fit perfectly. And a very large window ( code Escape Window). Now I know that I need to learn & practice so much more before deciding how to.celebrate US & our family. One great hack.I learned in a craft video is to pick up.diploma frames from the $1 store for.glass! I am more excited to learn something than I've been in six years. Thank.You!
