MEDIEVAL STAINED GLASS MOSAICS
HANDMADE CRAFTSMANSHIP BY JASON L. OUTLAW
About the artist - JASON L. OUTLAW
I graduated magna cum laude with dual degrees in Urban Planning and
Sociology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a focus
on community development. I am currently pursuing graduate education
at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and was awarded a Presidential
Scholarship to execute my research. My thesis, entitled, Problem-Based
Career Exploration analyzes a network-based paradigm to break down
silos and to expose students to careers they likely have never considered.
Inspired by my observations as a Freshman Proctor and Academic Adviser
for over 180 Harvard College students, I designed a digital advising
resource, TheRealmOfPossibility.org and won the Star Family Prize for
Excellence in Academic Advising. I envision a future where universities
encourage students to leverage their liberal arts education to actively explore
a problem or challenge of concern while investigating the ways in which
various disciplines and professions collaborate to create value for society.
vitraux Stained glass
I discovered my passion for stained glass during my freshman year in high
school and I have been a working apprentice for the past 19 years. I took
a stained glass course on it at the Beverly Art Center which was affiliated
with my high school, Morgan Park Academy on the South Side of Chicago.
I grew to appreciate the fragile austerity of the medium and the interesting
ways in which metal, light, and glass combine to create a work of art. I
built a brand called Vitraux (pronounced vee-trów), which is focused on
the creation of Medieval Stained Glass windows and mosaics. Each panel
is handcrafted using centuries-old techniques. My work is unique because I
combine lessons from painting, engraving, sculpture, welding, and industrial
design to create innovative works of art. A great deal of thought goes into
every creation. I love to teach and I run stained glass workshops to share
my passion with others. I believe that it is important for all of us to get in
touch with our creative side and I love helping people to discover their own.
“H-Panel“ Specification
I created the H Medieval Stained Glass Panel on Harvard Yard in 2015.
This panel is an example of how lead work can play more than a supportive
role - it can play the leading role in stained glass art. I worked hard to build
harmony and flow through the lead in this panel. The H-panel measures
11.25 inches (width) by 14.25 inches (height). The frame is made of zincplated stainless steel and has two brass hanging hooks on the top. Two 4-foot
lengths of brass chain are included that can be shortened to accommodate
any window. Each piece of glass is individually cut to perfection. The red
glass is transparent and muted, and possesses subtle waves reminiscent
of water. The opaque white of the border and of the H scatters the light
and capture your attention. The background glass is reminiscent of
jack-frost. Medieval H Stained Glass Panel is beautifully packaged in a
protective wooden box, and can be shipped anywhere in the country. The
panel is engraved with the artist’s name as well as the mark, VITRAUX.
