Done in the traditional stained glass technique of using lead and copper foil, Ben Light brings a different take on the craft by using laser-cut pieces of acrylic. Surprisingly the acrylic didn’t melt despite the necessary heat that was applied. The result is a great proof of concept for more complex works.

Hey Michael, how thick is the acrylic glass? 1/8 inch? What power laser did you cut in on? 30/40/45/wattt/etc. Did the copper foil have any problem sticking to the glass edges after being cut by the laser? Do you have a preference of software that you used to make the cuts? Autocad, Photoshop, etc. Great idea… Great job!
Hi Mark. I actually didn’t make this, Ben Light did. There’s a hyperlink to his site in the article and you can email him with questions.
