Britain's What's On Event Guide
Artist Talks Series - 7pm Vitreus Art share with you 'Major Moments
Mike & Jenny share with you 'Major Moments in the History of Stained Glass'
During our talk with slides we'll look at the origins of stained glass (the Poor Man's Bible), we'll look at the reasons for the explosion in decorative glass during the Victorian period, how glass has traditionally been made and why myths about glass being a liquid are wrong, we'll find out why the best known name in glass art is Tiffany, and look at the major innovations he catalysed.
We'll also look at the unusual chemicals needed to colour glass and how the launch of iPhones caused turmoil in the glass industry and we'll look at some noteworthy examples of modern stained glass we can see here in the UK.
