Art Light Vision: Stained Glass Now and Beyond
We will explore fundamental stained glass techniques from painting on glass, sandblasting, staining, cutting and leading. Students will then learn contemporary techniques, such as collage, lamination and fusing, and then go beyond by incorporating hot glass casting and more. Stained glass relies on collaboration and this class will reflect that: students will have the opportunity to produce their own panels, but will also work together on a collaborative project.
John Reyntiens trained in Fine and Decorative Arts in London, then worked with Ray King in Philadelphia, Cedar Prest in Australia, and Graham Jones in London, before setting up Reyntiens Glass Studio in 1996. He has lead on a range of projects from Westminster Hall’s Diamond Jubilee window for Her Majesty the Queen to restoring the heritage glass on Elizabeth Tower and the four clock faces of Big Ben. His approach combines tradition and innovation.
