Your task
Is each sentence true or false?
- Tiny amounts of minerals and metals, mixed into the melted glass, colour it all the way through.
- Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
- Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
- Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
- Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.
In real life
Medieval stained-glass windows in many cathedrals got their colours from metal compounds mixed into the glass.
