 (about this photo)
The Gamble House, known worldwide for its wood and joinery, is also a glass-lovers paradise containing exquisite glass windows, light fixtures, wall sconces, cabinets, and doors. Fire & Light, a 2-hour in-depth tour, explores the leaded art glass in The Gamble House.
Fire & Light looks at the Greenes' evolution of style; what led them to create some of the most celebrated art glass produced in an architectural setting; how the works were designed and produced; and the journey taken by the glass artists/craftsmen of the period.

Contemporary glass artist and Gamble House docent John Hamm has immersed himself in the history of art glass and the Arts and Crafts movement.
