A conversation with the artist Alexander Beleschenko
A conversation with Alexander Beleschenko
Alexander Beleschenko (1951, based in Wales, UK) creates architectural glass installations. His works can be seen in Britain, Germany, France, USA, Japan and the United Arab Emirates.
Yes, I do consider myself a stained glass artist, even though I have only made a few stained glass windows in my 35-year career.

There have been times that I have thought of using other definitions but they all end up being far more confusing, especially to the layman. Read More

Small quantities lead came on a drum

Check for the tin side of window glass (float glass) with a drop of water
A client visited us last month and we were discussing painting on float glass. Peter mentioned that it was possible to check for the tin side of float glass with a drop of water. It’s true! You don’t have to use a UV lamp.
Float glass (normal window glass) is made by floating the glass on top of a molten tin bath. The side of the glass in contact with the tin bath picks up residuals from the tin and this will have an effect on your silver stains and may have an effect on your other glass paints. Best to check the glass before painting and plan accordingly.

But which is the blackest paint for glass?
