Information

The Stained Glass Museum

Roundels are small circular windows, usually made of a single piece of clear glass and illustrated with glass paint. They are sometimes made to decorate people's homes and show scenes from everyday life inside an illustrated frame. Roundels display things important to the home and family they come from. Make your own roundel window inspired by your everyday life, things you see in the garden or on walks.
