Windows on Design Workshop

Stained glass has been enhancing buildings around the world for thousands of years. Discover how these windows are designed and then make your own acrylic stained-glass window.

In Chicago, stained glass can be found in historic temples, churches, Gilded Aged mansions, and landmark municipal buildings. Participants will learn how these dazzling-colored windows were designed and then make their own acrylic stained-glass windows. Participants will then take what they learned and make their own acrylic stained-glass window project to take home.
