Super work and wonderful explanations of how the enamels work. I’m just not quite clear the difference between these paints and the other types of paints used in stained glass painting.

Hi Julie, so glad you found the video helpful. To answer your question, glass paints are generally made of iron oxide with ground glass and other additions, and they are made in colours like brown, black or grey/green. There are other limited colours in the range. However, enamels are made from ground up coloured glass, with other elements added, and enamels have a wider ranger of colours available. Enamels are normally fired at a different temperature to iron oxide paints and are sometimes not as durable. Hope that helps 🙂

Great video and good to see you back. I spent several weeks running test samples to find the optimum temp for a red I was using for berries. Never quite succeeded, the final low fire also intensified previous firings. It was my first foray into enamels but made for a great learning experience. I'm going to make bigger samples like yours in future. Thanks for sharing

I asked Alexanders Arcanum, the British enamel supplier about firing temperatures , and he confirmed “the higher the better”. I found 650 centigrade to work well for most of the enamels, although Debitus ones sometimes need a higher firing temp.

@grampsinsl5232 Жыл бұрын

It's great to see this. I started working with enamel powders from various suppliers about 6 years ago, and found that the biggest problem (apart from the utter lack of any true red transparent enamels) was getting smooth even depth of color coverage over large areas. I was using water as the medium, and using the same flooding techniques as for ordinary black pigments. With blacks, it's pretty straightforward to get consistent coverage. With colors, though, I'd get them applied and they'd look smooth and even on the light table but they'd come out grossly uneven after firing. Blotchy isn't good! Maybe the propylene glycol would help, I'll have to give that a try.

I've used it to do shading with black/brown pigments for single-firing pieces whose basic elements and highlights are made with water-based pigments, but I put my enameling aside while I searched for a true red product, which I was never able to find. Speaking of which, I followed your link for Arcanum which goes to a Facebook page rather than a website, and left a message yesterday asking how to order but haven't gotten a reply. But hope springs eternal!

I fired then at 600c and the Cantabery red has come out as more of a magenta pink. I'm wondering what temperature you fired at? Alex at Aracum recommends 640c, but I'm a little worried about over- firing my glass which also has painted detail on it.

Hi Katharine, It's difficult to be prescriptive about every situation regarding placement of enamels on glass. You will have to work out the sequence of enamels for each project to determine their order. Also some enamels are less transparent than others so will obscure what lies underneath.

Would this be a way of "turning" clear, textured glass into "colored" textured glass I could use in my stained glass pieces. TIA

Well, it’s quite an expensive way to add colour to glass and should be used sparingly. Also not all enamels are transparent, some are opaque even when painted on very thinly. So, although you can transform the colour of clear glass, you’ll have to experiment with small amounts to see if it’s worth while doing on a larger scale. Hope that helps.

@@jeffreymoore3899 there’s really only a couple of ways to change the colour of clear textured glass. One is to paint it with enamels or silver stain, and the other it to double plate it with coloured glass behind. Both ways are expensive….

How did you draw that bird's outline in black would you please mention

@DerekHuntArtist 2 ай бұрын

I painted the bird with vitreous glass paints which are fired in a kiln at 650 degrees centigrade.

Derek, can I ask a question, when painting on glass with enamels or Reusche paints, can you paint on any glass or does it have to be fusible glass? I want to add to my craft by buying a kiln and paint roundels and smaller panel to incorporate into my windows, sorry if it’s a silly question, but if you don’t know, you don’t know 😂😘

@DerekHuntArtist Жыл бұрын

Hi Jo, yes you can paint enamels and paints on many types of glass, not just fusible glass. Some glass types are thicker than others so might cause problems in the kiln with cracking if not properly annealed.

Can we make church window glass by enamel paints ?

@DerekHuntArtist Жыл бұрын

Yes you can use enamels on church windows, however they are not as stable and long lasting as traditional glass paints, and I would not recommend using enamels on areas which get wet or are on the external face of the glass.

Is this fade in sunlight ?

@DerekHuntArtist Жыл бұрын

No, enamels are made of powdered glass so do not fade in sunlight, however enamels are not as long lasting as traditional paints so may fail over a longer period of time.

Have you done one on reverse painting on glass?

@DerekHuntArtist Жыл бұрын

Hi Joy, reverse painting on glass is not a skill I have!! It is a different set of techniques which use regular paints rather than ceramic glass paints. 🙂

@joychristensen5577 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I figured as much. The reason I found you is because I was looking for how to paint and fire painted stained glass. I have been painting and firing porcelain for decades and I suspected the powder pigment paint could possibly be used in glass painting with a different medium? Maybe if you could do a video strictly about what products and items to use for mediums and grinding oils or water or apparently gum Arabic. In this case it would be a go-to source. I know you say these things sprinkled throughout your other demonstrations but it's hard to find all in one place! Thank you so much for being there!
