Identifying Historic Glazing

A discussion and demonstration led by Michiel Brouns

In addition, Michiel Brouns will lead a session on the identification and conservation of historic window glass. Participants will learn to distinguish between different types of historic glazing, understand their manufacturing processes, and recognize the visual characteristics that help establish the age and evolution of a building. This session will provide valuable insight into why historic glass should be preserved whenever possible and how it contributes to the character, authenticity, and historical record of traditional buildings.
