This isn't my area of expertise, so bear with me. I need to recreate a kind of spider-webby looking black on clear design for some damaged church windows. Different thickness black lines in a hand drawn looking pattern. (link below)... There are literally hundreds of these small sections, leaded into larger windows. They were made in the 1920's. Were they all somehow silk screened at the time? There are so many of them, all with the same design that I can't believe they were all hand done? Also the original pieces had some sparse & rough looking black paint for texture on the reverse side too. Do I paint and fire one side at a time? What temp? How to do the reverse side texturing? Any step my step advice on how to best recreate this in my kiln, would be appreciated. Thanks!
