His work ranges from Victorian entry doors to century-old ecclesiastical windows, combining traditional techniques with meticulous attention to the original materials and craftsmanship of each piece.Victor will demonstrate the fundamentals of the craft live, including glass cutting, shaping, and assembly, giving visitors an up-close look at a skill tradition that has changed little over centuries. He will also speak about what historic restoration actually involves, what it takes to bring a damaged or deteriorating window back to life, and what a career in this remarkable and rarely seen craft looks like from the inside.Time for audience questions will be included. This is a chance to watch a master at work and to discover a living art form thriving right here in Waltham.About Victor AzerVictor Azer is the founder and owner of Azer Stained Glass Studio in Waltham and Westborough, Massachusetts, established in 1995. Born and raised in Egypt, Victor grew up surrounded by a rich artistic culture where master craftsmen were deeply respected. His passion for glass began in elementary school when a family friend gave him a glass cutter as a birthday gift. Rather than a joke, it became, as Victor describes it, "my favorite toy and my companion, and it still is to this day."Victor earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from Alexandria University before moving to the United States, where he began working in stained glass studios alongside fellow artists and craftsmen. Over the course of his career, he has designed and created original stained glass windows for residential, commercial, ecclesiastical, and municipal clients, and has led the restoration and conservation of historic windows throughout the region. His studio is widely regarded for combining old-world craftsmanship with meticulous attention to the integrity of each original piece. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/waltham/painting-with-light-the-craft-color-and-conservation-of-stained-glass/100001991018873046 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: under_16_with_guardian - door_time: 2026-06-25T22:30:00Z - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Waltham - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation - **lat**: 42.372984 - **long**: -71.23400200000003 - **full address**: Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, 154 Moody Street, Waltham, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Painting with Light: the Craft, Color, and Conservation of Stained Glass - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/feaed2f8d5a6bb2f366134231eb3098fd778d2468ff6fce59ba21c290ee8b7ca-rimg-w1200-h600-dc020302-gmir.jpg?v=1780559846 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Painting with Light: the Craft, Color, and Conservation of Stained Glass being held? - **A:** Painting with Light: the Craft, Color, and Conservation of Stained Glass takes place on Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, 154 Moody Street, Waltham, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Painting with Light: the Craft, Color, and Conservation of Stained Glass? - **A:** Painting with Light: the Craft, Color, and Conservation of Stained Glass is organized by Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
