Artists by Medium · Part 15 of 20
Stained glass turns architecture into a changing field of colored light. Painted detail, lead lines, cut glass, fused elements, and the movement of daylight all shape the image; the surviving West Window at St George's Chapel and the documented RPA hospital windows also show how attribution and patronage remain part of the medium's history.
These 30 practitioners span glaziers, designers, partnerships, painters, and contemporary artists. The selected work pages favor installed windows and specialist collections rather than portraits; where an attribution is only 'probably' or 'said to be,' that uncertainty is preserved instead of flattened into fact.
Rights note: each featured work or portfolio sample is presented as a link only. No contemporary artwork or documentary photograph is reproduced.
