Hanging Your Glass
In most cases, your glass comes ready to hang with a chain or cord attached. If you want to hang your piece in a window, I recommend using a sturdy hook that’s screwed into the window frame or the window lock/latch if yours has one.
I’m not a fan of using suction cups to hang your piece in a window, especially for heavier pieces, since they can detach over time and cause your piece to fall. For wall hanging, a nail works for smaller pieces, but using a stud for large/framed pieces is most secure.
Cleaning Your Glass
Your glass comes cleaned and polished to initially protect it. You may never need to clean your piece other than dusting, but over time the lead in the solder can naturally oxidize and form a white outline around solder joints. If this happens, clean gently with a soft cloth. Q-tips can also be used in harder to reach areas. Never use a cleaning product with ammonia (like Windex), since this can break down the solder.
Stained glass is traditionally made with lead, and although the amount used comes with very minimal risk, it’s a good idea to wash your hands after handling your piece.
