What is stained-glass art?
Stained glass creates visual compositions with colored or worked glass and transmitted light.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Glass color, paint, lead cames and window position change the image through the day. Historic buildings may emphasize narrative; contemporary works may focus on abstract color. The technique is more than painting on glass.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Conservation assesses glass, joints, frames and the building. Protective additions should be designed while documenting light effects and original workmanship.
