Because of their intimate scale, the Windows for St. Joseph Church provide a clear overview of the basics of stained glass making. Read Theophilus’ account in “A History of Stained Glass” (under the “Resources” tab above) and you’ll see just how little the technique has changed since the 12th century. By using keyboard arrows, you can stop the slideshow autoplay, and peruse the images at you own pace.
Materials: European mouthblown glass, Austrian lead crystal prisms, lead, solder under tempered protective glazing.
