Watkins Stained Glass

Waxing

Waxing is a process used for a painted window. The cut glass is waxed onto a “light wall” in the same position as it was drawn on the cartoon. The glass is then painted with special stained glass paints. This process allows painting brush strokes to follow through the various pieces of glass and gives the artist a chance to view the window with light shining through it. Sometimes a portion of a window may also be waxed up to see how the colors blend and how the window will look in daylight
