Came

What is came in art glass supplies? Came is an important component in the world of art glass supplies, used to create the framework for stained glass windows, lampshades, and other decorative glass projects. It is a type of metal strip that is soldered together to form a structural framework, allowing the glass pieces to be held securely in place.

Came comes in various shapes, sizes, and metals, including lead, copper, brass, and zinc. The most common shapes of came are "H" and "U" channels, with flat and round faces. Each shape has its own unique properties and is used for different purposes.

Choosing the right type of came is important for the success of the project. The thickness and strength of the came should be appropriate for the size and weight of the glass pieces. A thin came may not be strong enough to hold heavy glass pieces, while a thick came may overpower smaller, delicate pieces.
