Glass Painting is still a popular and growing craft both in the UK and many other countries. You will find stands selling finished glass items at most of the larger craft fairs and there are a growing number of companies supplying the materials, paints and outliners needed in this craft. This site has links to both craft workers and companies. It will even be running a series of "tutorials" on the basic skills needed by the complete beginner and more advanced tutorials and projects for the more advanced glass painter.
can be more difficult than it first appears. Firstly you need to get the correct paint for the job. There is a huge difference between a waterased pipe and peel (thick) paint and a flowing one.
At one time, or the flowing paints, would would always recommend the solvent ones over the waterbased ones, however the waterbased paints have improved dramatically over the last few years. Now they are (nearly) as good as the solvent one, without is the problems of smell etc that some of the solvent based ones have.
