Why do we do stained glass? Barbra Davis of Stained Glass One studio came up with six good reasons, such as, “It’s a stress reliever”, “Using your creativity is the best way to hang onto it”, and so forth .
As I ponder the myriad reasons why I continue in this craft, all the while suffering cuts and burns and sore back and neck, I am reminded of the first stanza of the poem Father William, by Lewis Carroll:
“You are old, Father William,” the young man said,
“And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head–
Do you think, at your age, it is right?”
“In my youth,” Father William replied to his son,
“I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I’m perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again.”
