The term stained
glass refers either to the material of colored
glass or to the art and craft of working with it.
Throughout its
thousand-year history the term "stained glass" was
applied almost exclusively to the windows of
synagogues, cathedrals and other significant
buildings.
Although
traditionally made in flat panels and used as
windows, the creations of modern stained glass
artists also include three-dimensional structures
and sculpture. |
