Stained Glass Class

Here are a few visual samples of my sculpture class and their up and coming work! Stained Glass is the simplest process to bring to beginning high school students because its cold connection. The next simplest would be warm glass which is fusing and slumping in a kiln.

I hope to bring warm glass to my school in the next few years. I'm afraid teaching any kind of hot glass is still too far in the future since it requires quite a few costly facilities. But this is a great start! In fact, stained glass is often called the gateway drug into working with glass as an art material.

It's looking good!
I'd love to work with glass one day. It just has a quality you can't get out of another material. Making my own beads is something I'd love to do someday, but for now settling for stained glass would already be amazing!

Will you show us more as the class progresses? I can't wait to see your students' finished works.

What a gift you are to the arts and to education. How lucky your kids are to have you. I'd love to be able to take an art class from you!
