Stained glass has been around for centuries. The Romans were the first to use stained glass in their baths. Stained glass is used widely in churches as a way to illustrate the Bible for the illiterate congegrations.
One of the most famous and modern forms of stained glass is used on Tiffany lamps.
The art of stained glass involved cutting the glass, wrapping it in copper foil and soldering it together to make the desired effect.
