A Documentary about the Single-Firing Method

Learn how to do all your painting, front and back, in just one firing

The ‘single-firing’ method is where you trace, shade, flood and highlight in a single firing, front and also back.

And you don’t just mix water with your glass paint; you also work with other powerful media like oil and propylene glycol.

Then you fire your glass – just once.

This single-firing method saves you time and money. It also improves the finish and appearance of your glass. We know, because we use it every day.

Watch and learn from these step-by-step, close-up demonstrations. There are two of them: each one lasts 55 minutes – and you see exactly what to do.

In fact it’s like you’re with us in our studio. The difference is, you can rewind and make us repeat our performance as often as you wish.

IMPORTANT: see here because the more you know, the better you will paint.

Stephen promised you a sneak preview of our new technique-packed glass painting film, The Heraldic Arms of Hampton Hall. But he’s a bit behind with his work right now, so it’s my happy job to tell you the trailer is ready for you to watch. It’s a wonderful overview of all the techniques you’ll learn, and how they fit together.
