Stained Glass

Stained glass is a coloured flat glass used as windows for buildings. It's a design that dates back more than 1000 years and makes use of the interaction of light and the material painted on. It is unique amongst the painter's arts, in that it exploits an immediate and dynamic interaction between two highly variable phenomena. This creates an art that is alive and enchanting.

Originally, stained glass was made by hand. The edges of the glass pieces were fitted into H-shaped lead strips (cames) on a designboard. The cames were then soldered to create the panel. The glass and the cames were sealed with putty. The entire composition was wrapped up and then put into the window. This method is no longer in use due to safety concerns, and because it does not meet modern building standards. Modern Overlay Stained Glass uses a solid sheet of toughened glass.

There have been a lot of important stained glass artists throughout the centuries. The most famous in Britain were Patrick Reyntiens and John Piper who worked together on a number of the magnificent church windows from the early 16th century. Piper was previously involved in many media, including painting and sculpting, but stained glass was his main area of focus. He created some of the most vibrant interesting and intriguing work in England.

Stained glass was not only used in religious structures but also in non-religious ones like hotels, schools, and public places. Stained glass was typically used to create a sense of space and improve the atmosphere of the interior. Stained glass is often paired with other forms such as murals or sculpture.

Stained glass is a beautiful, but fragile decorative medium. It is particularly susceptible to environmental damage, since it is a barrier between the interior and external environment of a building. The elements of wind, rain and pollution can cause structural damage and chemical deterioration of the glass and leading condensation that can corrode paint and lead to irreparable loss of detail. This webinar explored ways to deal with these issues and provided guidance for Historic England custodians.
