September 14, 2013 – TOUR/DEMO: The Bryn Athyn Experiment – Replicating Medieval Glass
In the 1920’s the craftsmen of Bryn Athyn began a great experiment to rediscover techniques of Medieval Stained Glass. In the process they worked out their own unique methods for glass making and painting in the medieval style. This 3 hour tour will include an in depth look at the works created for the home of Raymond Pitcairn paired with the extraordinary collection of 12th Century glass that inspired them. The tour will conclude in the studio for a demonstration of techniques based on the discoveries of the Bryn Athyn craftsmen many of which blur the distinction between restoration and forgery.
