Let's learn ancient crafts to counter brain rot! Today, stained glass, with artist Ben Tuna (@Glass Cowboy). To get started you need: Glass, a glass cutter, lead came, a soldering iron, and cement. Stained glass is over a thousand years old, but it really gained popularity across Europe between 1150 and 1550. The basic techniques used to make stained glass have barely changed since they were documented by a German monk in the early 12th century. A huge thank you to Ben for letting me document the process over the course of a few weeks. It really is an incredibly tedious and time-consuming craft, and it’s amazing that artists like Ben continue that tradition by hand. #stainedglass #craft #DIY #stainedglassart #art
