| Description: | CEMENTED STAINED GLASS The art of cemented stained glassmaking is demonstrated at this ancient glassworks. Wealdstone, Middlesex. C/U of several pieces of coloured glass. Worker Bill Fulker selects a piece of yellow glass and marks out a shape to be cut with a small craft knife, working from a plan on the workbench. He then chips away at the glass with a hammer to get the desired shape and glues it into position in the stained glass design he is working on. C/U of the original design; tilt down to show the different coloured chunks of glass in position to make the shape of a chalice. Another man is seen working on a different design, using the original method of having a metal frame around each section. We pan from him to Joe Guinlan who is working on a cemented stained glass design; an assistant mixes the cement while Joe carefully pours it into the gaps between the glass. It looks like each piece of glass is protected by a square of plaster. Joe walks over to a design he prepared earlier and takes the wooden blocks from the sides of the piece. He holds it up so we see it is quite a modern-looking religious portrait. C/U of coloured glass in a cemented design; it is then illuminated from behind - very striking. C/U of a portrait of Christ then various abstract designs. | |
