Seem to have the wrong username and forgot my password when I tried to log in,
Won’t you let me know? Ellen
ps a fine website!
Hi, Ellen — there are no user names or passwords set up for this site; everything here is brand new. You may be thinking about a user name and password for the Forum site (http://sgaaonline.com/talk/index.php); you can access that by using the “forgot password” link at the sign-in page. The passwords are in an encrypted database to which no one has access, so the “forgot password” link is the only way to get it.

Hello, I have a very old stained glass church window which has a fleur dis le in the center, and was wondering if you could provide any information about it to me?
Thanks for your time.
You can post photographs of your window at the SGAA Discussion Forum (http://sgaaonline.com/talk/index.php) if you would like. Perhaps a visitor there can provide information about your window.
Do you need to be a member to apply for your stained glass scholarship?

how do u get colors on a stained galss????!!?!
please reply on my inbox
Glass is colored in the manufacturing process using various metal oxides, sulphides, and such. For example, cobalt produces a blue while selenium produces a red. Silver stain can be fired into glass to produces yellow and gold effects, such as used in a halo.
The glass can also be painted using glass paints that are fired onto the glass; while these do not produce color such as in painting with oil on canvas, they do modify the color of the glass and — more importantly — the way light is transmitted through the glass.
This is a wondeful site. I hope that eveyone can get to see this. Is there any way at the conference we can have the site displayed so those attending can not only view the site but manuver through it?
Jerome: I think we can probably make that happen.

Just wondering, Why is stained glass important to buildings of Gothic churches?
Thanks heaps
The complete “SGAA Reference & Technical Manual” has been out of print for almost ten years and is only availble through used book dealers. However, there are some chapters that are available in reprint editions. You can find more information on those here: http://stainedglassschool.org/?page_id=46.
I recently purchased painted stained glass medallions that were heated to 1200 degrees. I am using copper foil and solder and would like to know if I can use patina to turn the solder black without harming the painted medallions. Thanks Don
Richard, nice work with the website It looks very professional. Ihope to look at it more often.Ihope you had a good conference.
Kelley Mooers
Don, you should post your patina question on the SGAA Discussion Forum (http://sgaaonline.com/talk/index.php). There are a number of experts who visit that forum and will answer technical and craft questions.
Thanks for your work on this site; very informative and well laid out. A great resource
