The Tiffany style stained glass lamp shade, panel, window etc. is very much like a puzzle.

First, the puzzle must be designed. Stained glass panels, shades, doors, windows, etc. are subject to stress which can easily break or fracture the glass. Stained glass structural design is similar in principle.

Second, upon completion of the stained glass friendly design which is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing, it is necessary to create templates for each and every piece of glass that is to be in the design. This is typically done by tracing the outline of each piece of glass in the design onto a heavy craft type paper. Afterwards, the craft paper is cut into individual pieces which represent the individual pieces of glass.

The rough edges of the glass are smoothed by special grozing pliers or a glass grinder. Fifth, all copper foil and zinc edges of all the glass pieces are painted with a soldering flux. The glass pieces are then soldered together one at a time until the entire project becomes a one piece structure.

Many people attribute the popular stained glass artwork style found in lamps, windows and other items to a man named Louis Comfort Tiffany who lived between 1848 and 1933. Louis Comfort Tiffany founded the Tiffany Glass Company in 1885 but it no longer exists. Stained glass panels have been found that are nearly 2,000 years old.
