The famous Appleby Chapel window which was designed by Kenojuak Ashevak was part of this collaboration. In addition to windows, Sattler’s often collaborated with artists to make small-scale stained glass works that featured an image by the artist. This process echoed the Kinngait printing tradition in which original drawings were translated into prints by master printers. Several Kinngait artists provided drawings which the studio printed in the serigraph technique on antique stained glass in small editions.
