Zisterzienserfenster / Cistercian Window

Leaded panel measuring 28cm x 56cm.

It is based on a 13th century panel I saw at the Stained Glass Museum in Ely – click here for a link to the original.

My panel includes a selection of textured clear glasses, some of which is reclaimed glass.

Using a varied selection of textured clear glass is a good way to create visual interest without darkening the room.

Especially in the lower third cross, there is a lot of stippled, pin-head style glass from the 1970s-80s, which apparently was popular in office interiors, to divide up open plan areas.
