The Origins of Stained Glass
Making pictures using stained glass is an old art. It involves cutting and fitting together pieces of colored — or stained — glass into a larger image. The art borrowed its techniques from two other, older crafts. These are mosaics and cloisonné enameling. From mosaic-makers, stained glass artists borrowed the idea of using different colored pieces to form an image. Mosaic making involves fitting together colored tiles made from stones. These might be marble, granite or other stones that can be highly polished. The Greeks made mosaic tile floors as early as 1600 B. C. By the 6th century B. C., they had perfected the art. From cloisonné enameling artists, stained glass artists borrowed the idea of attaching strips of metal around the pieces of glass to hold them together.
