The windows of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The magnificent lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany. The New Golden Age of Glass at the end of the 20th century. These are some of the highlights we consider when we think of stained glass, but this extraordinary volume takes the reader on a journey that begins about 3000 B.C., when glass was discovered by Phoenician sailors. Early glass mosaics predate by nearly a thousand years what we know today as stained glass, an art form that found its roots in Christianity. Now expert glass craftsman, author and Glass Craftsman magazine's publisher Joe Porcelli takes the reader on a tour through the centuries of some of the most vibrant work in this field...a magical, ethereal look at light and color that continues right up to the current innovations and creativity in the field. Complete with a unique catalog of the work of contemporary artists.
11-1/4 X 11-1/4 pages -- 160 color and b/w illustrations.
