Kardia window, St. Louis Regional Arts Commission, Cultural Resource Center,St. Louis, MO

This window is an extremely complex stained glass window built as a standard insulated glass unit. The hand blown flashed glass is cut and acid etched for assembly. Rather than being built with lead channel, the pieces are cut to fit together precisely, and laminated to one side of a sheet of 1/4”thick tempered float glass. The other pane has been extensively sandblasted with text and a light acid wash to control the tone. The effect is seamless, multilayered, and brilliant.
