Tiffany’s resplendent windows are a combination of creativity, artistry, and ingenuity in glass. Join us on Wednesday, May 11, for a in-depth look at the different types of special glass used to create these masterpieces. This virtual presentation by Lindsy R. Parrott, executive director and curator at The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in New York City, draws on her 18-year experience with The Neustadt’s Tiffany Glass Archive, an unparalleled holding of more than a quarter million pieces of original Tiffany glass. Second Presbyterian’s windows will be among those used to illustrate Tiffany’s glorious glass and the ways his artisans employed this material to create spectacular effects.
