A nice simple video about the commission "Flock of Fishes" for the Cafe Gandolfi in Glasgow, Scotland, with stained glass by John K Clark. "Flock of Fishes" is an early work by Clark, dated 1984-1987, but it's one of his most famous and popular despite his numerous successful commissions since then. I've been to the Cafe Gandolfi and can personally attest that it's a wonderful place and the 'fishes' is a wonderful work of stained glass.
I wish there were more videos like this on YouTube. Telling the story behind a stained glass commission, using simple narration by the artist.
Most videos on YouTube having to do with stained glass are so bad, with cheesy music, no information, and just bad filmmaking all around.
Lesson for today - keep it simple and informative.
