Book Description

Excerpt from Stained Glass Stained glass, as the term is used, is taken to include also painting upon glass. As a matter of fact, glass staining and glass painting are two quite different things. To build up a mosaic with pieces of coloured glass, each separate tint cut out of a separate sheet of potmetal, is one thing; to paint upon a sheet of white or coloured glass is another thing altogether. 'in fact, they are not merely two different ways but two opposite ways of arriving at a result. But there is this excuse for grouping them (as it is the custom to do) under one title, that from very early days the two processes of work were used together.
