The most important aspect of stained glass is the glass itself.
Glass is composed mainly of sand, silica. It is heated to a
temperature of 2,000 degrees, until it is the consistency of taffy.



The colors are caused by the addition of metallic oxides.
The glass does not have a pigment like oil paints. White
light is a combination of all the colors of the rainbow.
