Free Class Saturday

I am planning on being in the studio Saturday to work on a volunteer project that is long overdue. It is a window for Grace Bible Church. If you are interested in putting in some time, learning about stained glass or getting some free instruction, come by tomorrow morning to help out.

We will be cutting glass, foiling, possibly some torch work (bead making)... depends on who is here and how far we get.

Let me know if you think you want to come and I'll be sure to stick around for you. I will probably be in my studio around 9am and stay until we get tired of working. I'll check my email for interested people since I won't be around much this afternoon: info@PicturesInGlass.net .

Studio directions: 10650 Carson Hwy is 1 mile west of M52, and 2.5 miles south of US12 or 1.5 miles north of M50.

Boysville, Art Glass, and You

Saturday morning will give you an opportunity to work on a window that will be installed in Grace Bible Church - whether you have experience or not. Last year I worked with the students at Boysville, taught them a little about stained glass, helped them to create a window of their own, and allowed them an opportunity to draw some designs for my "Church Glass Giveaway" during April for Michigan Glass Month. This is the drawing that was chosen by the church.

Tomorrow the window will be started so students will have a chance to try various processes of working with stained glass. You will learn to cut glass, foil the edges, put it together, solder, etc. The amount of participation will depend on the number of students who plan to attend.

Hope to see you tomorrow. If you can't make it, further opportunities like this will be available from time to time.
