ART, GLASS
AND LIGHT

«STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS FIRST APPEARED IN THE CHURCHES AND CATHEDRALS OF THE MIDDLE AGES. OVER TIME, HOWEVER, THEY BEGAN TO APPEAR ELSEWHERE. CONTINUING TO BE RECOGNISED AS A SACRED ART, THEY WERE USED WIDELY IN ARCHITECTURE. TODAY, THEY HAVE BECOME FOCAL POINTS IN PEOPLE'S HOMES AND IN PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS. LIKE STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS, SOME WORKS ARE MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY OF MOUTH-BLOWN OR MOULDED GLASS. THE NOBILITY OF THE MATERIAL, THE COLOUR AND THE DIFFUSION OF LIGHT ARE THE SAME.»
