Stained glass art decoration weaves together the rich tapestry of history, from its ancient origins as a sacred art form to its enduring beauty in majestic mosque and contemporary works, illuminating the past with splashes of color and intricate craftsmanship.

STAINED GLASS

The term stained glass can refer to coloured glass as a material or to works created from it. Throughout its thousand-year history, the term has been applied almost exclusively to the windows of churches, mosques and other significant buildings. Although traditionally made in flat panels and used as windows, the creations of modern stained glass artists also include three-dimensional structures and sculpture. Modern vernacular usage has often extended the term “stained glass” to include domestic leadlight and objets d’art created from came glasswork exemplified in the famous lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany.

The polishing process typically starts by rapidly rubbing a metal surface against a coarse grit abrasive material. Once a metal has been polished thoroughly by a certain grit size, the process should be repeated with a finer grit size. This repetition is performed several times until the desired level of polish is achieved.

The abrasive material on the polishing wheel that is used depends on the material type and its hardness. Softer metals like copper and aluminum may require a silicon carbide as an abrasive material for polishing, whereas harder materials like alloy steel may require aluminum oxide as a polishing abrasive material. Oftentimes a liquid is used during the polishing process to prevent excessive heat due to friction from occurring.
