Melted Lead Lamp Shades?
Howdy - New to the group. Been into stained glass for about 10 years.
Mostly windows, some lampshades and candle holders, etc. Arts and crafts and prairie style mostly. Anyway - I was wondering if anyone knew how the commercial stained/leaded glass lampshade makers make their shades. I mean, it sure isn't came that they are using. It often looks as though they laid the glass out on a pattern with gaps between the pieces and then poured melted lead in the gaps. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Brian |

Thanks, Brian I've seen and repaired some of these. I am totally in the dark as to how/why they made them like this. I think Java had a link to a site about it? -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
