About
Contemporary Stained Glass
Leaded stained glass is the
traditional form found in most
churches. In leaded stained
glass windows, pieces of glass
are put together with strips of
lead to form designs. Very often
the glass is painted to provide
fine details, however, the form
is flexible and can be used to make modern designs and even abstracts. A
variety of lead sizes, glass
types, textures, and techniques
are often used in a single
design. Flowing lines and
curves, asymmetry, and stylizing
of figures and symbols replace
the symmetry, realistic detail,
and formal borderwork of
traditional stained glass.
Windows can be representational
or completely abstract, and
glass painting is minimized.
Many are designed to provide an
emotional impact with strong
colors and large forms.
