NEW! Fire & Light Focus Tour

(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 Greene’s 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.
