Artist/maker notes

Robert John Crear McCartney (1931-2016) McCartney’s career was set by a visit to Chartres Cathedral where he saw the stunning ‘La Belle Verrière’. He returned to Glasgow determined to study stained glass, and instigated the creation of a course at the Glasgow School of Art. After time as manager of the Stained Glass Studio at Pluscarden Priory and teaching, he became a full-time freelance artist in 1988.
