The basic illustrated information once learned opens up all types of crafting with stained glass. The name [Tiffany style lamp] has become a generic word describing all small piece rounded stained glass lamps using the copper foil method of construction. Lamp shades constructed on WordenSystem forms are assembled the same that Louis C Tiffany, founder of the Tiffany Glass Co., used to make famous small piece stained glass shades in the early 1890’s. Tiffany lamps and other Tiffany style shades manufactured at that time, such Handel, Wilkinson, Chicago Mosaic, Duffurner & Kunberly and other small studios. Tiffany style lamps are variations of round, flattened globes and cones. These round shapes lend themselves to the construction of strong, durable family heirloom type fixtures. The stained glass parts are held together by wrapping a very thin copper foil strip around the edge of each glass piece, copper foiling allows intricate, delicate designs to be made. A special solder alloyed for a low melting point will then adhere to the copper foil to encase each part. The solder makes a durable frame work by welding the many pieces together.
