What makes Tiffany stained glass different

Today I learned about Tiffany stained glass windows.

What distinguishes Tiffany Studios work in stained glass is that the color is infused directly into multiple levels of glasses, which at times can number to four or five layers, as opposed to the more traditional European style, in which the glass is hand-painted, or stained glass windows that have just one pane of glass.

In my favorite building, the Chicago Cultural Center, is the world’s largest Tiffany stained glass dome.

In 2018, I took one of the Chicago Cultural Center brochures and made an origami butterfly

I used the cover of the Chicago Cultural Center brochure to make this origami. I went up to the Tiffany dome to place it, and there was a dance performance going on! Movement Revolution Dance Crew, @moverevolution2. Photo taken July 26, 2018
