9. Restoration, preventive conservation
Stained glass restoration requires a multidisciplinary team of curators, heritage architects, art historians, restorers and scientists. At the same time, in research projects, conservation scientists and scientists specializing in a particular technique or area of expertise work together to achieve their common goals: in-depth knowledge of how glass alters enables cleaning treatments to be optimized during restoration, and thus its preservation for future generations.
A stained-glass window is a set of pieces of glass (2 to 4 mm thick) cut into various shapes according to a pre-established design (cardboard), translucent or transparent, colored or not, and held together by a network of lead. Glass pieces can be painted (grisaille, silver yellow, enamels, cold paints)
