Through a slide presentation, Donald Samick of J&R Lamb Studios will take a look at the development of stained glass windows from the late 1800's to today's modern designs and how the ever shifting national and global economy affected popularity. He will also examine how social and population movements bring about increased interest in religious and domestic stained glass, which affected changes in architectural styles.

Donald has had a 57 year tenure at the J&R Lamb Studios. His late wife's (Donna) son David Bleckman and his wife Kathryn have assumed ownership of the Studio, thus continuing a family tradition of operation since 1857, when Joseph and Richard Lamb founded it.

Will be held in the Library auditorium from 2-3pm

Registration required.
