E4P4-4 Mastercrafts - Stained Glass

Episode 4 -- Stained Glass
The knowledge of manufacturing glass was brought to Britain by the Romans over two thousand years ago along with the seed of a new religion called Christianity. As this religion flourished and the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages soared up towards heaven, so the craft of stained glass rose to a similarly transcendent level as it strove to tell Bible stories to a largely illiterate congregation while pouring God's light into these Gothic buildings. During their six-week course, our trainees will learn the foundations of the craft -- from how to cut glass incredibly accurately to leading up and glazing a window.

Too much emphasis on the older woman's struggles, otherwise enjoyable.
