Scotland as a nation has a dramatic history; the history of its stained glass is no less dramatic. The Protestant Reformation led to the destruction of virtually all of Scotland's stained-glass windows and the traditions and craft knowledge of stained-glass production fell into decay until the 19th century. One of the most important figures in the Scottish revival of stained-glass design was the Aberdonian, Douglas Strachan who produced over 350 windows throughout Britain and beyond. His work, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century, continues to inspire and influence designers. Dr Juliette MacDonald will give this talk. She received her PhD from the University of St Andrews in 2003. She holds the chair for craft history and theory at the University of Edinburgh. |
