Stained Glass Windows UIP 6, PAGE 1 STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS SECTION UIP 6 GENERAL INFORMATION ILLUSTRATIONS Stained-glass windows are in the fine arts field. Many windows, classified by age or beauty as having antique or historical value, or designed by name artists, must be valued as art objects by fine arts specialists. The majority of stained glass which is installed today is the work of skilled artisans working in shops or studios, who normally put a square foot price on their craft. The following average costs will enable the assessor to estimate the replacement cost or proposed cost within reasonable limits. Glass materials, design and studio prominence vary considerably and costs may vary from a plus 70% to minus 20%. These costs are based on the least dimension of the dominant size of pieces making up the total window. A window, most of whose pieces of glass are 3" wide, would be priced from the 2" to 4" col- umn, whether 3", 6" or 12" long. Price all windows by the area of the enclosing rectangle. INSTALLATION FIGURE 1 Installation costs run from $11.00 to $25.50 per square foot, depending on geographical location, height from ground, and size and shape of window. For stained-glass overlay, costs run $21.75 to $39.50 per square foot including materials.

  • © Alan Macfarlane and Gerry Martin, 2002 1 GLASS in EUROPE; 1100
    © Alan Macfarlane and Gerry Martin, 2002 GLASS IN EUROPE; 1100-1700 We have already seen that even by 1100 there was an extensive knowledge of glass-making techniques and probably quite a widespread use of glass. This was a solid foundation, inherited from Rome and the eastern Mediterranean, upon which was built an enormous further increase in the use and sophistication of glass-making. There is now a large literature on many aspects of this, so all I can do here is to sketch in one or two of the most salient peaks. Among these it is worth singling out three new developments. Up to 1100, and including the Romans, the two main uses for glass had been for verroterie (beads, toys, jewellry), and vererie (vessels and other useful ware). Although there was a little development of window glass, especially in the north of Europe, this was a minor event. The period between 1100 and 1700 saw the continued development of the two earlier uses, especially in relation to fine drinking glasses. But it also saw three major extensions in the use of glass. One was in windows, both stained glass in religious buildings and plain window glass in ordinary homes. The second was in the development of glass mirrors. The third was the development of lenses, prisms and spectacles, that is glass for optical purposes. It was these three new developments which would change the knowledge base of Europe. None of them, as we shall see, occurred in this period to any extent elsewhere, whether in China, Japan, India or Islamic civilizations.

Acanthus In art, an ornament that resembles the leaves of the species Acanthus spinosus plant. Acid Etching The process of creating decoration on the surface of glass by applying hydrofluoric acid. A similar effect is weathering, obtained by exposing glass to fumes of hydrofluoric acid to create an all- over matte surface. Acid Polishing The technique of creating a glossy, polished surface by dipping (usually) cut glass into a mixture of hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids. Developed in the late 19th century. Acid Stamping The process of acid etching a trademark or signature onto annealed glass using a rubber stamp-like tool. Aeolipile (From Greek): Globular or pear-shaped object with a narrow neck and mouth. Its function is believed to be as containers. See Grenade Agate Glass See Calcedonio Air Trap, Air Lock An air-filled void of almost any shape. Air traps in glass stems are frequently tear- shaped or elongated and spirally twisted. See Diamond Air Trap, Pegging, Twist Air Twist See Twist Alabaster Glass A type of translucent white glass first produced in Bohemia in the 19th century. Similar to opal glass.

  • Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 INTRODUCTION (1 of 2) CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
    Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 INTRODUCTION (1 OF 2) CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Introduction Since opening in 2012, Chihuly Garden and Glass has partnered with Seattle Public Schools to enhance learning using the artwork of Dale Chihuly. The Nature of Glass is an innovative sixth-grade science curriculum that immerses students in Chihuly’s installations and provides teaching resources aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*. The Nature of Glass Curriculum enables students to appreciate the science and engineering behind the creation and exhibition of works of art created in glass. Summary The Nature of Glass Curriculum is divided into three sections: • Pre-visit Resources • Visit Resources • Post-visit Resources The Curriculum Resources Chart lists all components. Each resource has a companion teacher’s guide with lesson plans, evaluation tools, and teaching tips to facilitate its use. Using the pre-visit resources and the Student Visit Booklet, students examine aspects of the essential question: what is the nature of glass? The post-visit resources help students understand and apply their experiences with glass while exploring connections to other science, engineering, and art content. The visit resources are organized around three NGSS Crosscutting Concepts that link glass to broader scientific topics: • Patterns • Energy and Matter • Structure and Function The Nature of Glass Curriculum provides an efficient and exciting science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) learning opportunity to Seattle’s sixth graders. *Next Generation Science Standards is a registered trademark of Achieve.
