Hand Blown Glass Art

This is a good demonstration on the process of making stained glass.

Making stained glass art requires cutting out the individual pieces of glass from a pattern, smoothing out the rough edges of the cut glass and foiling the pieces together before soldering.

I want to learn to do stained glass art and I’m starting to research it. One thing I don’t quite understand is if most crafters buy pre-colored glass, create their own (with chemicals) or paint their glass. I’m also looking for more info on framing the glass as an actual window as opposed to framing for hanging.
