ABOUT

Stained glass, with its luminous quality and intricate designs, serves as both art and architecture. I hope to stand at the forefront of this craft, pushing boundaries through innovation in preservation and creation techniques with a commitment to advancing the field.

My PhD research focuses on understanding the environmental impacts on stained glass, specifically leveraging new computer numeric control (CNC) technologies. This modern approach not only preserves the integrity of stained glass works but also aims to reconstruct them while reducing the reliance on lead — a toxic material. This effort aligns with the European Union's forthcoming restrictions on lead use in materials, showcasing a proactive response to environmental concerns within a historical artistic tradition.

Through my work, I create a frameworks that blend tradition with technology, ensuring the durability and sustainability of stained glass art in a changing world. I hope my contributions are pivotal in redefining how stained glass can be produced and maintained, ultimately leading to a safer and more environmentally conscious practice.
