METHODS explores the techniques, materials and cultural contexts of medieval glassmaking.
Héloise Colrat (glassblowing artist) and Alicia Van Ham-Meert (archaeological scientist) investigate medieval glass recipes based on the composition of the stained glass windows from the abbey of Stavelot – subject of Alicia’s research. Using materials from the archaeological site, they reproduce and refine different glass recipes, focusing in particular on trick glasses, central to elite social gatherings in the 16th and 17th centuries.
