Unless the pattern you find states that it is free or you have permission from the artist to use it, it isn’t free to use. That said it’s important to know not all designs are free game to use (I learned this the hard way and justly so).
In fact, stained glass is easy enough for anybody to do, it just takes lots of time, tools, and patience! But I’m here to welcome you with open arms and want to be the first to let you know that it is not complicated at all once you break it down.
Diving into creating stained glass can seem overwhelming at first glance considering all of the tools it requires and the many steps you must follow. My hope is that this blog can provide a little more information to you and other artists who are looking to try making stained glass. Before I start I want to be sure to preface the beginning of this whole blog to say I am not close to being an expert only an artist who has spent many hours making stained glass and has a little bit of knowledge to share. And let’s face it I can’t keep what I have to say in less than 2,200 words (the character limit) thus this blog was established and I can now write as many words as I desire. If you follow me on social media or know me in the real world then you know I love sharing tidbits of stained glass information whenever I can to whoever will listen! This Glass Goddess blog was born out of my attempt to share what I knew via weekly posts on Instagram but it quickly became obvious to me that it’s more of a visual platform geared towards swiping and tapping and not reading long paragraphs. Thank you all so much for joining me on my very first stained glass blog post! I never thought I would ever be writing a blog as writing wasn’t ever my strong suit but here I am giving it a go.
