Faceted Glass
|
| Faceted glass windows are constructed from 1 inch thick slabs of stained glass called dallies. Dallies are cut to fit the artist's cartoon using a glass cutter, a chipping hammer and an anvil. In some cases, a special saw is used on intricate cuts. After all these pieces of glass are cut and the granules are spread, a liquid epoxy resin is poured between the pieces of glass. Finally, granules are spread over the top of the epoxy. After allowing enough time to set up, the epoxy will harden leaving a very durable, strong art glass panel. |
