The training
The technique of stained glass in slabs of glass seen during this course was developed in the early twentieth century and owes its name to the use of plates of cast glass, colored in the mass and whose thickness varies between 20 and 25 mm. The glass slab is sawn, cut according to the design of the stained glass project. The glass pieces are then placed in a formwork and sealed with concrete.
Why use the glass slab?
For the integration of stained glass in modern concrete architecture. Its strong natural structure is an alternative to the traditional stained glass technique. The thick glass, chipped at the edges, allows a brilliant diffusion of light. The implementation of the glass slab is relatively simple.
