Their daily life was somewhat similar to other peasants in their community because they wore the same clothes and they ate the same food.

Furthermore, the glazier had a challenging job because of how stained glass was created, the tools that was used for stained glass, and the training the glazier they had to…

Did you know that over 50 Billion plastic water bottles are used each year by Americans alone. That’s over 150 times the population of America. Just sit and think how many water bottles that actually is, because it is easy to forget how big of a number that actually is.

I walk in, surrounded by millions of dollars and tens of thousands of hours worth of glass.
