To celebrate Glasgow 850 we are teaming up with Glasgow Cathedral, our partners on the Cathedral Precinct, for a morning of stained glass art history appreciation!
Starting the day off at 10.00am at Glasgow Cathedral we
welcome stained glass artist Talia Blatt who is currently designing a new
window for Glasgow Cathedral, who will give an hour long talk on her
artistic process and tell the story of her new work that is soon to be revealed!
She will also provide insight to other windows in the Cathedral, including "lost"
Munich Glass, the Millennium window and the Creation window, amongst others.
Then, at 11.30am over at St Mungo Museum of Religious Life
and Art, our Curator of Medieval and Renaissance Collections Edward Johnson
will give a talk on the small, but significant, collection of medieval stained
glass housed here at the museum
This morning is a must for fans of stained glass who
appreciate the artistry and the symbolism behind them. Come and see these
panels which form part of one the finest collections of stained glass in the
world and hear from experts on their historic significance.
