“Dominion: The Stained Glass Legacy of William Potts”
By Henry Knight
William F. Potts is Toronto’s most lost great artist. With his two assistants, John Hurst and Joseph Schneider, he designed almost all of Toronto’s Victorian stained glass windows. Then his name was forgotten. Toronto artist Henry Knight has worked for years to find those names.
Please join us as we reconnect the names to the art and discover a lost world of invention, beauty, precarity, and loss.
Thursday, November 5th, Annette Branch, Toronto Public Library, 145 Annette St.
Doors Open at 7:00 for socializing and refreshments;
Meeting & Talk begin at 7:30.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Henry Knight is an artist, mechanic, conservator, and historian of stained glass. A lifelong Torontonian, he is dedicated to documenting and celebrating Toronto’s unique heritage of glass, which is now critically endangered.
For those unable to attend in person, a video recording will be available.
