Spread by spread, the six lights of the window are described - both as they are viewed overall and in close-up, picking up on specific aspects of each light.
Rosalind Grimshaw won the commission to design and create the Millennium Window for Chester Cathedral. She achieved it all within a year, while battling against Parkinson's Disease. Six Days charts this extraordinary journey, providing a unique creative insight into the Millennium Window - from initial design concepts through to completion. Grimshaw also offers her own unique insight into living with Parkinson's. The book is alive with zest and colour, and the humour and sheer determination shown by Grimshaw provides a simple but wonderful tribute to life itself.

After completing a degree at Cambridge and spending a year in a steel works in Cardiff, followed by a year diamond prospecting in Zambia, Painton Cowen worked for some time on the Encyclopaedia Britannica before concentrating on stained glass. Rosalind Grimshaw's work seeks to fuse art with industry and everyday life. She started stained glass at Joseph & Bell in 1975, and now works with her partner in a purpose built studio in Bristol. She developed Parkinson's disease in 1984, which has slowed her down but not diminished the quality of her work.
