WHAT IS STAINED GLASS?

There is a mystery to glass. It is a fascinating form of matter that possesses gas, liquid, and solid-state properties, making it unique among materials. Glass is most like a super-cooled liquid, which leads to intriguing scientific discussions about its structure and behavior. This enchanting material captures and reflects light beautifully making it appear to glow from within. Glass is a jewel-like substance crafted from the most ordinary material – sand- which is skillfully transformed by fire into something remarkable and pliable, adding to its allure, providing endless possibilities for artistic and functional applications in our daily lives.

Glass is colored by incorporating metallic salts and oxides. These minerals within the glass capture portions of the spectrum of white light, enabling the human eye to perceive various colors and movement. Gold yields a stunning cranberry hue, cobalt produces vibrant blues, silver generates bright yellows, while gold and copper combine to create gorgeous greens and brick reds.
