Abstract

This article tries to highlight the great need that exists in Spain to create higher education studies on stained glass conservation and restoration, as well as the importance that the learning and mastering the traditional glazier’s crafts would play in these studies. Indeed, the manual skills and technical aspects used both in the creation and in the conservation and restoration of stained glass windows are intimately related, to the extent that it would be difficult to understand one without the other in the training of future conservators-restorers. It is therefore of the greatest importance that any attempt to create higher education studies on this discipline do not neglect the importance of this aspect.
