Tracing the development of the art from the 7th to the 21st centuries 'Painting with Light' offers an introduction to the techniques of making stained glass and goes on to look at styles and subjects.

Technical improvements, led to new ways of designing windows in the Middle Ages. A revival in the 18th century saw a real renewal of the art, and we look at some of the main manufacturers and designers of glass in that era, including Clayton and Bell, Charles Eamer Kempe and Morris & Co.

In the 20th century artists like Douglas Strachan, Harry Clarke, Evie Hone and John Piper produced high quality, imaginative stained glass. This talk looks at their work and that of some of their latest successors.
