Stained and Faceted Glass

Carl Huneke’s Work Includes Leaded Stained Glass & Faceted Glass (Dalle de Verre)

Leaded Stained Glass
Colored glass is crafted into stained glass windows, in which small pieces of glass are arranged to form patterns or pictures, held together by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame. Details are often painted on the glass and fired to make the design permanent.

Faceted Glass (Dalle de Verre)
The most successful and most widely accepted new technique in the world of stained glass today is dalle de verre, better known as faceted glass, which is set into epoxy or other material. Its process of production results in a mosaic-like approach of pure color effects that can be utilized in window openings or entire walls.
