What is "stained glass"?
Stained glass is a type of glass artwork where colored glass pieces are assembled to create decorative patterns or images. The glass is usually cut into shapes and joined together using lead or copper strips to form windows, panels, or other items. The colors and designs can be detailed and vibrant, often used in church windows, lamps, and decorative panels. Stained glass allows light to pass through, creating a beautiful play of color and light in the finished piece.
