Description

For over a thousand years, stained glass has been a vital part of British history and Christian tradition, adorning the windows of cathedrals and parish churches with its vibrant colours and intricate designs.

This beautifully illustrated book takes you on a journey through the development of stained glass from its earliest beginnings in Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. You'll discover how medieval and Renaissance glass was made, the impact of religious upheavals on the craft, and the innovative styles and techniques that modern artists have pioneered.

With detailed explanations of the art form and expert insights into the secrets of medieval glaziers, this book is a treasure trove of information for anyone interested in art, history, or the beauty of stained glass.
