Finding Glass for Mosaics

Video Transcript

"Where do you get the glass to do this with? That's what this segment is about. There are numerous ways to get glass. One of the ones I use is, I've met a few stain glass artists and they usually have scraps left over and I'll buy their scraps from them because they can't use it in whatever they're making. There are stores that sell stain glass and they also have scraps or you can buy regular sheets of it if you want. You can go on the Internet, there's all kinds of places on the Internet to buy glass also. These are some of the glass pieces that I have gotten from different stain glass artists. Like this, or sometimes I just go and buy a whole big bag full of them, or whatever kind of way they go. You'll want to use flat pieces to cut on. They're pretty easy. Now some of the glass that you might find is very thick and I don't think they're terribly suitable. I mean you can use it but it's much easier to cut a thin piece of glass than it is a larger piece in my opinion anyway."
