Just go. It’s like nothing else you’re ever going to see. Full of beauty and artistry this mosaic encrusted home is full of delight. Words and photos can’t do it justice.

When you visit the Cathedral, you're in the neighborhood of the International Stained Glass Center, so if this peaks your interest, then by all means explore the opportunity for a visit. You will get exposed to the ancient artistic processes as well as the evolution to modern techniques. You'll learn everything from how the various colors are achieved to how the they can be cut, arranged, and secured. You'll also learn how facial and other details are achieved on the glass.
