crown of glass

Drive to Film Farm - in the evening we watched an excellent film about Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral and the way in which the stained glass in the tower was part of the structure. The process was evolved in collaboration with the artists (Piper and Patrick Reyntiens), architects and engineers and the film (a Shell production) explained all this in an approachable manner without cutting out the more difficult concepts. Why oh why cannot we have in depth reports like this these days on television instead of the vapid meanderings with which we are served. And many thanks to Janet Moretta for sending us a copy.
