ABOUT
Hi, I'm Dan.
I've worked with stained glass for around 20 years and teach adult learners. This site is here to make the craft less intimidating, celebrate what learners make, and keep the useful stuff in one place.
There are even some rather ancient glass videos lurking on my YouTube channel alongside years of Photoshop tutorials.
