From http://www.vidimus.org
"The Dean’s Eye rose window in the north transept of Lincoln Cathedral is one of the most important examples of medieval stained glass in Europe. It was begun in 1220 and completed in 1235. Fascinating information about this window and details about its recent restoration can now be found at the official Lincoln Cathedral website, http://www.lincolncathedral.com.
For further reading about this window, see N. J. Morgan, The Medieval Painted Glass of Lincoln Cathedral, Corpus Vitrearum GB, Occasional Paper III (Oxford, 1983)."

The International Stained Glass Centre, established in 1980, collaborates with the relevant scientific, cultural and professional organizations in order to promote the study and conservation of stained glass and contributes to encourage its contemporary forms of expression.
By organizing workshops, cultural heritage classes, practical training courses, exhibitions of ancient and modern stained glass and guided visits, the Centre is fulfilling its mission of diffusing information about stained-glass art.
The museum workshop and its documentation centre provide the opportunity to become acquainted with the different stages in the design of stained-glass and to acquire knowledge about the art and techniques of medieval and contemporary stained-glass artists.

A very good reference manual, 'The Care of Stained Glass’, for both custodians and practitioners of stained glass, has been produced by the Heritage Council of Ireland.
It can be downloaded here:

It's for you to decide.... This is not an endorsement by me. But it is interesting.

The Stained Glass Museum offers a unique insight into the fascinating story of stained glass, an art-form that has been practiced in Britain for at least thirteen hundred years.
The Museum Trust was set up in the 1970s to rescue and preserve stained glass and now houses a national collection of British stained glass. An exhibition of the finest pieces gives visitors a chance to appreciate its beauty and history.
The Museum is in the South Transept of Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, a small city fifteen miles north of Cambridge making it an ideal centre to visit.
The Museum's exhibits include an early 19th century stained-glass copy of a work by Raphael and an 18th century panel copied from a portrait by the artist Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Also on display is work by Morris & Co. 20th Century work includes pieces by John Piper, Brian Clarke and Evie Hone famous for work at Eton College Chapel .

Vic, some years ago I visited N. Easton to see the several buildings designed by HH Richardson. At the train station, now the historical society, they told me about the fantastic stained glass at this church, and why didn't I see if I could get in to see it. So, the custodian was out raking leaves, but let us in. Little did I know it was to see those wonderful LaFarge windows. So I have "before" slides and will compare them with the photos in the article. Sounds like a very interesting job. In light of the new information as discussed in The Tiffany Girls, it is interesting to note LaFarge had others also sign the window.

CATHARINE NEWELL VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
Oregon Public Broadcasting's interview with award-winning glass artist Catharine Newell is now available for viewing online. Originally aired last month on OPB's Oregon Art Beat, the video focuses on Alone Together, Newell's recent show at the Bullseye Gallery.
Keenly interested in psychology and human relationships, Newell works from photos of people she takes in public places. In her latest pieces, she re-interprets the photo images by painting them in powdered glass frit on multiple layers of sheet glass and, finally, fusing the glass over bent forms in a kiln. The resulting pieces resemble thin sheets of crumpled paper, like discarded sketchbook pages, recording glimpses of unique individuals who comprise an urban community—living together, but alone.
Newell, who is represented by the Bullseye Gallery, has exhibited widely in the United States and has taught in Portland, Pittsburgh, Australia, and China. Her work has been published in Glass Art Magazine and NICHE magazine.
View the video on YouTube or Google Video.
This is from the Bullseye Glass newsletter.

This is an exceptional opportunity for artists to utilize one of the finest facilities of the medium, known internationally.

In addition, they are embraced by a dedicated and warm staff, all on a beautiful 65-acre campus that is truly a creative sanctuary, just 45 minutes south of Philadelphia.
This year the artists will have use of brand new private studios as well as newly rebuilt furnaces and other excellent facilities. If you are interested in applying or know someone who might be, the application form is simple and the jury process exceedingly sensitive and fair. Only 12 C.G.C.A. grants are given per year but the process is free and easy and surprisingly open.
