I'm presenting a talk April 7th at the Skillman Library at Lafayette College about two windows that were restored under my leadership at Willet Studios back in 2002.

One window (pictured) was listed as "lost to fire" for years in an authoritative book about Tiffany's work. When at Willet I worked closely with my mentor Crosby Willet who is a graduate of Lafayette College. Crosby one day informed me that this lost Tiffany, the Alcuin and Charlemagne window was not lost but languishing in crates stored up on the Lafayette campus. We eventually restored this and another Tiffany, The Death of Sir Philip Sydney.
I will speak about the restorations and specifically the two very different techniques Tiffany used in these two windows to solve the problem of supporting multilayered stained glass construction
