As far as what you can expect when you dive into the world of stained glass creation, Different Glass notes that there will be a steep learning curve. Because this hobby combines both artistic and technical skills, you can’t expect to be an expert on day one. But that means you’ll feel even more accomplished once you start crafting incredible pieces! 

There’s also quite a bit of an investment and time commitment needed, especially in the beginning. It will all be worth it, though, when you have a new community and the rewards that come along with your new skills and passion.
