These abstract windows designed by Francis Deck are in the Munich Style. Images are painted on large pieces of glass and fired in intense heat. The lead seams are planned not to interrupt the scene and are camouflaged by the design which makes them hardly noticeable.
East windows from left to right, days 1-4
