Traditional Stained Glass
Stained glass is a reflection of the artistic and religious sensibilities of its creators.

They are also used to commemorate the lives of deceased members of the congregation. They are also very popular in secular structures such as schools and librarys.
Early stained glass was painted with a variety techniques. The first was using paint that was brushed on the surface of a piece clear glass. This was referred to as 'grisaille', and a fine example can be seen in the window that shows the Annunciation at York Minster. In the 13th century, coloured glass was painted onto clear glass. This enabled artists to create more realistic and detailed renderings of their subjects. The most commonly used color was blue, which is a shade that is associated with Heaven.
In the 19th century, the arts and crafts movement, with its emphasis on handmade craftsmanship and artisanship, led to the revival of stained glass. This was partly in reaction to the excesses that were associated with the Gothic revival, which was embraced by architects such as Augustus Welby Pugin. The art of painting on glass became more sophisticated and artists were working in studios, sharing equipment and working together to improve their abilities.

The cost of a glass panel is determined by the degree of complexity of the design as well as the amount of glass pieces that are required.
