Painting Glass Tutorials
by Darko Vilupek

I am working with glass for years but only Tiffany technique. Now I need to learn painting glass because I work in the church and need draw Saints eyes, nose and mouth. How can I learn? Do you have instruction in print version? And where can I buy tools and materials the nearest to Croatia?
Milly's reply: Wow, Darko, that's a lovely project to learn about glass painting! I have done a series of tutorials on painting glass. If you go to Painting On Glass, there's four tutorials that take you through the whole process from mixing paint to line work, shading and kiln firing schedules. Read the pages in this order - painting glass, glass painting instructions, stain glass painting and glass painting techniques. You can print them out if that would help?
As for where to buy stained glass tools and materials in Croatia? Difficult! I've had a look on the web and can't find any. Have you thought of getting some from the UK? There's Creative Glass Guild in Bristol, or Creative Glass in Kent - I'm sure they'll send you what you want. That's a last resort if you can't find any stained glass suppliers in Croatia. Sorry I can't be more help with that, but good luck with your painting glass project - I'd love to see how it looks when you've finished!
