From start to finish the project took over a year with illustration and design into the final installation. Based on the vision for the project, our team began the creative process with research into liturgical stained-glass windows from the Renaissance period to pull-off this authentic Renaissance-style custom stained glass window. Richard E. who led the project added some context in an article for our friends at Up North Live: “What makes this work most unusual is that all the 1,833 pieces of glass that make up this elaborate window were decorated using ancient glass painting techniques -- the same technique used in the 14th century when the stained-glass windows were being assembled on the Notre Dame Cathedral Paris. The only difference is that we used ceramic kilns to permanently fire this paint onto the glass instead of the wood-fired kilns used in 14th century Paris.” [1]
