DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

The artists at Vidrio Artesanía, with over twenty five years of experience in the field of stained glass windows, are dedicated to the design, creation and repair of leaded and Tiffany stained glass windows, as well as to the design and repair of fired grisailles.

Multi-coloured stained glass windows are elaborated with coloured glass pieces, which are painted or carried out with enamels. These pieces of glass are assembled using lead rods and tin welding. Once they are placed in their final destination, the stained glass windows transform the light that goes through them, generating an atmosphere that influences both space and spirit.

APPRENTICESHIP

They learnt from the Artisan Master Daniel Mentxaka who trained them in the cutting, the assembly and the welding of stained glass windows.
