I am not a stained glass but would like to participate - what do you suggest I do?

if you work through the website How to in the Pilot Project section for information about the ways of working and the Background pages for information about Medieval glass design section. You need an image to work with of course - a photographic source will do. (However you will infringe copyright if you copy someone's work directly)

What criteria will be used to choose the successful designs?

The workshop spces in the new site allow artists to work ogether in small groups to make their images compatible and readable. The designs will be selected for their cultural variety, computability and adherence to the aesthetic of medieval stained glass. They will need to be edited for colour synchronization and border styles but that will be done in consultation with the artists as much as possible. If there are enough designs of suitable quality and content there could be more than one version of the window.

Who owns the copyright to the designs?

Artists retain the copyright of their original design which cannot be reproduced elsewhere without their agreement. However the edited designs once applied to the rose window design are copyright of 'In the Womb of the Rose'. the editor reserves the right to make minor changes to these designs in order to integrate the whole window to ensure compatibility. These will concern overall colour and border size
