About the Directory
Connecting South Africa’s Stained Glass Community
Explore the people, places and resources behind stained glass across South Africa, all gathered in one directory.
A Place for the Craft to Be Found
Stained glass has a rich presence in South Africa, from commissioned artworks and architectural windows to restoration workshops and small independent studios. Yet information about the people and resources behind the craft can be scattered or difficult to find. Stained Glass exists to bring those connections into one accessible directory.
Our purpose is to document and connect the community without reducing it to a single style, region or tradition. By making artists, studios, restorers, suppliers and research resources easier to discover, the directory supports collaboration, preservation and curiosity about the craft. It is a growing record of the people who make, care for, study and appreciate stained glass across the country.
