Explore the extensive collection of medieval and renaissance stained glass at Planting Fields!

During this walk and workshop for adults, participants will discover the travels and stories of a few of the forty—plus stained-glass panes that illuminate the historic house-museum, the Main House. Guests will be guided by Emily Leger, Planting Fields Foundation’s Collections and Exhibitions Manager, and will not only dive into the Corpus Vitrearum, an International scholarly compilation of historic glass windows, but also make their very own faux stained-glass to bring home and enjoy!
