Foil and Solder

Stained glass patterns, sized to your window.

The classic designs, drawn to the opening you have, not the one the pattern was drawn for. Every piece numbered, full-size pages to cut from, and the glass to buy.

Your opening

Sunburst fan stained glass pattern for a 36 x 18 in half-round transom

Three palettes of real glass on every pattern: amber and clear for Arts and Crafts houses, jewel tones for Victorian ones, sea glass for cottages. Pick one on any pattern and the glass list follows it.

Drawn to the opening you have.

Most patterns are drawn once, at one size. Stretch a 30 in transom pattern to 36 in and the diamonds go flat and the border goes fat. Here the design is rebuilt at your size: the border stays a border, the diamonds stay diamonds, and no piece comes out too small to cut.

Your opening

Checked before it is drawn

  • No piece too small to cut or too big to hold in lead
  • No sharp points that snap while you grind

  • The pieces cover the whole opening, sampled point by point
