20. I create with stained glass and refer to myself as

a stained glass artist (or artisan) as do others I know. A SG artist's tools are mostly copper tape, wire, solder, flux, a soldering iron, various types of glasses, often colored, etc.

To me a glazier is someone who cuts, removes, installs, replaces glass/plexiglass, not usually "stained" type, in a home, auto and business windows, coffee tables, etc. They normally use points and putty to do so, not solder, flux and tape etc.

A person can be one, the other or both.
