Mary Clerkin Higgins Lecture

A talk on Stained Glass and Conservation by Mary Clerkin Higgins.
Bio as a member of board of directors of the American Glass Guild
Website, only a home page, under construction.

It's a longish presentation (roughly 1 hour, 15 minutes) and you can't see the slides very well, but it's worth it, especially if you are fairly new to working in stained glass. Roughly speaking, the 1st third is about materials and process, the 2nd third is a history of stained glass, and the last third is about conservation techniques, with examples. The information is rock solid. Mary is one of the best in the biz.

Here is the link on Truveo if it doesn't work for you here. Curiously, there is no information on date or origin of the video.
