GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTIONS DEPICTED IN STAINED GLASS

All designs were drawn using only a compass and a straight edge. No measuring devices of any kind were used. All constructions are hand drawn and are complete.

Most of the regular (equal sided) polygons presented here are simply equally spaced points on the circumference of a circle that have been connected sequentially. The exceptions are the triangle and dodecagon.

Because of the nature of glass some cuts cannot be made and some pieces can be impractically small. Thus, in order to render the constructions in glass, some “artistic license” has been taken. We have added, deleted or extended some lines and arcs where necessary.
