Yeah! So soldering for us stained glass folks is the melting of lead (specifically a combination of tin/lead) to hold your stained glass pieces wrapped in copper foil together. Without lead soldering your art would just be pieces of glass. Playing with an extremely hot tool and lead can seem scary at first but I promise it’s not as intimidating as it seems once you get down to actually doing it!! Plus you’ll know how to manipulate liquid metal and that is kind of badass at least I think lol…
