Palate Refresher: John Mallon and Victorian American Art Glass Techniques

Take a short stroll with Chicago Art Historian, Rolf Achilles, as he describes various techniques and materials that set American stained glass apart from European artistry. The location is the now defunct exhibit of Victorian American art glass in Chicago's underground Macy's pedway, an odd location that made beautiful windows available to the public.

The sound isn't optimal but trust us this is worth it. You will see a very special Mallon window at 3:42 (it's the last window).

We are researching and sharing the life and work of John Mallon. You can visit the Table of Contents here.
