Stained Glass For Beginners - Honeycomb

  • We're making a honeycomb out of stained glass today! I recently got in a beekeeper suit and checked out the bees and their honey right up close which gave me the inspiration to create this stained glass honeycomb for today's project. We will be doing only straight glass cuts (no curves) so if you are beginners to stained glass, this will be great as your first project. Keep it small if you're just starting out or add a few more pieces if you want a larger piece. Either way, there are lots of variations to be creative with this stained glass project!

    I'm a beekeeper with three hives of my own. As soon as I saw this project I just had to give it a go as a novice glass cutter. I'm delighted with the results - one finished in copper and the other in black patina. The bees haven't expressed an opinion of my work - they are too busy hitting all the early flowering plants at the moment. Keep the ideas and challenges flowing.

    Great informative videos. A tip when grinding glass or tile using a stone - place a thin sponge in a container slightly larger than the grinding stone with the stone sitting on the sponge, fill with water to just cover the stone. Dip the pieces of glass in the water before grinding. This will help to keep the glass or tile sand particles getting into your lungs.

    Great project thanks, being an amateur entomologist it was fitting to do. This was my first ever project (maybe a bit complicated for a first) so it didn't turn out perfect but it still looks great to me. I learnt many valuable lessons, how to cut a straight line, why you stick to the inside of the line, why you use the same sized glass( I added clear 2mm to my coloured 3-4mm and this made soldering very tricky). Love your videos and I bought a lot of my tools/equipment based on your videos. Thanks.

    Excellent videos! You inspired me to start making glass projects. I never even soldered before and I just completed my first 3 glass pieces, #1 was this honeycomb. I bought a bee bevel cluster from Delphi glass and soldered that to the honeycomb (because I'm a beginner and can't cut around the bee yet). I sent you pics on FB. I'm happy to say my projects came out surprisingly great for someone doing it for the very first time. Turns out I love soldering. Who knew?! Anyway, thanks for putting all this out there and helping people discover a new art form. Watching you do this made me think I could do it too and I'm glad I gave it a shot. Thanks a million.

    Nice! I cut glass but never tried to do any stains glad work, it's on my future. Regarding cuts, I noticed that you might not be keeping the cutting wheel pressure the same toward the end of the cut making some cuts require sanding to correct. It might help if you pull the cutting wheel toward you instead of push it away from you. The first impression on the glass typically stays more even when you pull, while pushing tendencies are lighter as the hand goes away from your body. Just a possibility that might work for many. It's all about the cut with glass crafting.... best wishes love the vid. Cant wait to get stained glass!
