W. T. Carter Shapland

W. T. Carter Shapland (3 February 1925 – 22 December 1972) was a British stained glass artist and master glassmaker. A leading proponent of post-war trends in British stained glass, Shapland's independent work typified the figurative modernism and optimistic aesthetic associated with the Festival of Britain style, later moving towards architectural abstraction through his use of the dalle de verre technique. Examples of Shapland's work can be found across the south east of England, primarily in Church of England churches, though he also won commissions from across the UK and internationally.
