The origin of stained glass dates back to ancient times, to the Romans and the Egyptians, but throughout the last thousand years, stained glass is known to decorate the windows of significant buildings.

Stained glass is made by adding metallic salts during the manufacture of the glass, which creates unique colors. The pieces of colored glass are then crafted into windows, sculptures and structures, while usually arranged to depict patterns, portraits and pictures.

The makers of the glass often paint extra details on the glass in order to enhance the overall design of the work. It’s not easy to create a piece of stained glass and many consider the processes to be highly artistic. Engineering skills are also required in order to achieve perfect assembly, so the window will fit into the building space, resist rain and wind and support its own weight.
