Check out These Basic Tips From The Pages of Soldering Technique Studio:

• When soldering and cutting glass always put safety first
• Always place your iron in a stand. Never set it down. Keep in mind that the stand gets hot, so always handle it by the base.
• Only hold the iron by the handle, never grab it by the heating element.
• Make sure your work table is well organized. Keep your table free of excess materials that you are not using.
• Don't solder under a ceiling fan or air vent. Use a floor fan or open a window for ventilation.

A Word from the Artist:

"When first learning how to solder you have to be patient. It takes time and lots of practice. I was so mad with myself the first time that I didn't try it again for months. That's ridiculous. We all have to start somewhere. There's always going to be a learning curve if you are trying something new, but you can only get better from there. You have to stick with it. It's like anything you do for the first time; think how boring life would be if we gave up on everything we failed on the first try. If you are a perfectionist, you have to let that go. It's never going to be perfect. It's handmade. That's what gives it character." - Giuseppina "Josie" Cirincione
