Patterns for Plating

After completing her first plated project, Rebecca wrote this to us:

It is amazing to hold my completed piece up in front of the window and look at it! I didn't think the shadows and the baroque glass would show. It truly does open a whole new world. There is a world of difference between knowing that you are making shadows intellectually, and actually seeing them!

The shadows, the depth, the illusion of distance, the texture, are truly the elements that make plated stained glasswork art instead of merely craft. And every pattern listed on this page embodies those elements. If you need our support during the building process, we'll give you the solutions immediately. But the instructions are clear and logical. Each pattern package also comes with a photo of the finished window, suggestions on glass choices, and of course full-size patterns.

Each pattern package is only $14.95 plus postage and handling
