with Emily Allen, Deputy Curator, The Stained Glass Museum
For the day, Emily will be at Two Temple Place explaining the step by step processes of making a stained-glass window, and sharing how glass is shaped, stained, painted and then leaded together to form a window through examples from the museum’s handling collection.
Visiting as part of our Celebration of Makers event is FREE and no booking is required.
For our 2024 exhibition, The Glass Heart, we partnered with The Stained Glass Museum and were fortunate enough to showcase a number of works from their collection. The Stained Glass Museum is the only museum dedicated to the art of stained glass in the UK. The museum boasts a nationally-significant collection of stained glass, associated designs, materials and tools which reveal the development of this unique art from the 13th century to present day. Displayed at eye level and within Ely Cathedral, visiting the museum is a unique opportunity to see glass which spans more than eight centuries, featuring rescued stained glass from a variety of secular and sacred buildings across the country. The museum is a real hidden gem with a programme of practical glass making workshops, events and talks throughout the year for all ages. Find our more on their website https://stainedglassmuseum.com/
