This slide show is not for the faint of heart. However, if you’d like to watch the 24+ month unfolding of the project, you’re in the right place. The story begins with the Design of the Windows for Christ Church, and continues with Glass Selection, Material Acquisition, Cartooning, Fabrication and, finally, the Installation of the stained glass.
SUGGESTION: By using keyboard arrows, the slideshow’s autoplay will stop, allowing you to peruse the Slide Show at your own pace.
NOTE: A more concise slide show showing just the finished and installed stained glass in the Sanctuary can be found at Windows for Christ Church.
