British Society of Master Glass Painters Centenary Touring Exhibition

Tuesday 14 - Wednesday 22 June 2022

This touring exhibition of stained glass panels celebrates the Centenary of the British Society of Master Glass Painters, founded in 1921. Current members of the society were asked to create a new exhibition panel measuring 30cm x 30cm on any theme of their choice.

Over 90 artists from across the UK and overseas contributed to the online exhibition. The tour highlights 60 panels that celebrate the unique art of glass. The works have been created using both traditional and modern glass techniques, demonstrating the extraordinary range of stained glass currently practiced. 

The artists explore a variety of subjects with a few recurring themes, such as the environment, the pandemic and the beauty of nature. The exhibition builds a fascinating insight into the concerns of glass artists a hundred years after the society was established to help stained glass remain relevant.

Founded in 1921, the British Society of Master Glass Painters is the UK's leading organisation devoted exclusively to the art and craft of stained glass. Membership is open to everyone and they offer a professional qualification for accredited Associates and Fellows of the society.
