Friday PopUp Event: Celebrating Margaret Rope – Stained Glass Artist : Arthur Rope
June 13, 2025 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
| £5Dull? Formulaic? Sentimentalised? Is that your conception of stained-glass art? How about a girl being seduced by goblins? A Tudor mass execution in progress? Vivid portraits drawn from the life?
Burdened by limitations and prejudice, glass art has long been neglected and scorned as beneath serious consideration by connoisseurs. Glass art is seen thanks to the light passing through it. The best artists in the medium exploit this with rich use of colour, contrast and detailing. Margaret Rope was among such people.
Note £5 charge to all!
