March 12th – Cindy Olive, When History, Science, & Art Collide: Stained Glass
Come join us in exploring the fascinating history of stained glass and how its evolution is related to architectural and cultural developments through the ages. From the ancient glass-making manuals of 650 BC to the present, stained glass has been important as an art form for many centuries. The character and techniques used in the creation of stained glass windows and panels have remained essentially unchanged from the ones implemented during medieval times, 1000 years ago. Discover how the glass is created, how it becomes colored, and the variety of ways the pieces can be assembled.
