Stained Glass Museum

The stained glass museum was really interesting. I never knew how much time, effort, and patience went into making a window. It was cool to see the techniques to cutting and framing the glass. The most interesting part of the tour was finding out how the glass was painted. The artist would put a layer of patina on the glass and then remove the patient from the area it was not needed. After the first layer of patina was done, it was placed in the kiln. This process was repeated until the painting was done. We also got to try and make our own stained glass. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I now have a new appreciation for the artist who make these windows.
