What is the lead came technique?
The lead came method is a traditional technique used in the construction of stained glass artworks. It involves the use of H-shaped lead strips, known as "came," which are used to hold individual pieces of glass together. Each piece of glass is carefully cut to fit within the lead came framework, and then the lead strips are soldered at their intersections to create a sturdy and cohesive structure.
The lead came method allows for the creation of large and intricate stained glass windows and artworks. It has been used for centuries and remains a popular technique among stained glass artists and craftsmen who appreciate its timeless appeal and enduring durability. The lead came method continues to be utilized in the restoration of historical stained glass windows, as well as in the creation of new masterpieces that showcase the beauty and craftsmanship of this traditional art form.
