Description: | The designs for stained glass are drawn by skilled artists onto paper called cartoons and then traced by craftsmen onto the glass. The colours used are made permanent by firing the glass. If the temperature is not exactly right this process can still cause unevenness or poor quality today, which points to the skill of the medieval craftsmen who produced the fine stained glass windows in Europe's many cathedrals. | Subjects: | Artistic Work People (Active) Stained Glass Workshop Crafts | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Buchanan, T E | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
