Staf Pyl: Stained glass windows in Eeklo

As part of the 'Night of the Churches of Meetjesland', ELS Eeklo is organizing a walk through the creations of the glazier Staf Pyl. A good description of Staf Pyl (1923-2007) from Sint-Niklaas is that of a creative jack-of-all-trades, an inspiring artist and a genius craftsman. He is best known for his stained glass windows that can be seen mainly in Sint-Niklaas and the surrounding area. Besides stained glass and glass-in-concrete, Staf also produced ceramics and paintings more at the beginning of his career. He belongs to the group of stained-glass artists who thoroughly renewed postwar stained-glass art.
