Stained glass conservator and artist
Charlotte Roden is an independent stained glass conservator and glass artist based in Udine, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Italy. She has won awards in both the conservation and the design sectors of stained glass and undertakes both small and large projects. After completing her Master of Arts in Stained Glass Conservation and Heritage Management at the University of York she has worked in various studios in the UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Germany, completing projects in conservation and new glass. She is currently in the Conservation Committee for the British Society of Master Glass Painters (BSMGP).
Charlotte’s Master’s dissertation was titled “The ‘cameo process’: the twentieth-century acid-etching technique by William Meikle and Sons in Glasgow, Scotland”. The cameo process was developed primarily as a solution to the paint loss issues of the nineteenth-century while also encompassing the Arts and Crafts Movement’s wish to celebrate the qualities of glass without the dulling effect of glass paint. A flashed glass was acid-etched to achieve graphic and clear details of faces and drapery which, even at close quarters, is difficult to distinguish from glass paint. The article is available here:
